Lost my left thumb print today

[Mike Hill]

I was adjusting the depth of my horizontal borer this morning. Stupidity set in and when I stepped on the pedal, I didn’t move my thumb far enough out of the way. Here’s a picture

Spoiler: Thumb picture. Click this only if you wanna see it.

Please! Don’t react with sympathies. I made another stupid mistake and will be ok. ….. Nubs

Ouch!!!!

I've heard that the dry heat makes it heal faster!!!

You didn't lose it, just changed the way you apply it from now on!! Stay safe my friend!

Going to put a damper on flint napping since you have to use your thumb so much, right?

I does make a difference on how the quality turns <---- out. The left thumb is actually a hindrance to making large wide points. It's not really needed in this stage of pressure flaking. ................... Nubs

I'm wishing my toes were on my hands instead of in my shoes. Then I'd be complete. ............. Nubs

That post was meant to be funny. I don't need those red hearts as I already have one that works just fine at 79 1/2 years old. I don't need extras. ............... Nubs
