Flesh wound
January 27th, 2008
Friday night I drilled a nice 3/8″ hole in my hand. I was drilling holes in the bottom of my son’s pinewood derby car to get the weight down and was holding it so i would not mess up the paint job. Just as i was thinking “…this is the incorrect way to hold something while drilling..” - Bam! the bit went through the wood and into my hand. so after a lot of blood letting, pain and a $600 3 hour trip to the emergency room, I received 7 lucky stitches and some painkillers. ouch. don’t try this at home kids.
