CLEAN UP YOUR WORK AREA!!
Sasquatch:
I was trying to sit down late last night and hit some rocks. When i put weight on my chair with my hand the chair flipped over. This drove my hand into the this flint core i had left there. When i looked at the wound and saw the yellow fat tissue and blue veins I knew it was time for a trip to the ER. I contemplated sewing it up myself but the wife wanted me to go for the sake of infection. to keep from waking the babies we duck taped it and i was off to the doc. The doc knew about flintknapping and flytying and he gave me a togo bag full of the forceps and scissors they used. I thought that was pretty cool. Moral of the story clean up your shop. I plan to tuck my buckets of flint under my work benches so that the kids don't fall on them.
Sasquatch:
Well i wont be knapping for a couple weeks.
cowboy:
Youch!! Man that sucks! It'd take me a month to clean up out there, guess I better watch my step. And no barefoot kids ::). Godspeed on your recovery, I wanna see more of your work.
Parnell:
Ooof! Nice work! Good pictures!
bowmo:
Yuk, that looks unpleasant!
Further support for my theory that knapping on a upside down bucket or a log is good mojo though ::)
Hope that heals up quick for ya.
