Bloody wood

[LHayes]

As I read this post I started laughing (not at you Bob).  I could see you running around trying to find something to remove the blood from the wood and then you ran into the house and back and finally got the wood cleaned up   AND then and only then you worried about your finger.....we woodworkers are a funny bunch aren't we.     Wood first, finger second.  I think that is why I keep a big box of bandaids in my shop....

Bandaids and 91% Isopropyl aclcohol are close by in my shop at all times...

And that is absolutely correct...Protect the project at all costs!!!

I am reminded.
Several years ago,I worked in a sheet metal shop. As I would indoctrinate a "Newbie" into our shop, I would always tell them, "Now when you cut yourself, NOT IF but WHEN, always bleed on the steel not on the floor. We will ship the steel out and all will be well, but if you bleed on the floor, we will have to look at it FOREVER!"

I actually have a project with a blood stain on it.
When I was in college I took a design class where the class designed a project and then manufactured and sold it. During the manufacturing process I managed to cut my finger while using the table saw and bled on a couple of pieces. While I was at the doctor getting fixed up the guys in class figured it would be funny to finish the box with the stained pieces and gave it to me at the end of class.
as a side note, my parents responses to my injury have become priceless lines in my family.
I called up my dad and said "hey dad, I cut my finger in the shop". dad says "as bad as grandpa" I said "nope". dad says "How could you be so stupid."
I called up my mom and said "hey mom, I cut my finger in the shop". Mom says "I bet you wish you had that math minor now".

Last summer my granddaughter surprised me while I was working with the disc sander. I jammed my finger into the disc, tearing my fingernail off.  I removed the disc and put it on the shop wall.  Now I can point at the dark circle on the disk and tell the kids, "That's my blood,"  just to freak them out.

I love being a grandfather!

Never got nauseous Russ but would pass out cold after watching first aid, or accident investigation films. Lucky for me the real thing didn't bother me, being a cop. Won't go into detail! i'll pass out! LOL

I was trying to be a little sarcastic Gabby. I am a retired firefighter/paramedic after thirty years of service.

Well I had a cool story for you and all of a sudden my browser jumped to another page and I lost all of it. Still have that problem, and no I didn't accidentally hit another key, just the regular letters like now. Ticks me off when that happens.

     I've used booze for blood situations before, but I found you have to drink a lot of it. LOL
