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
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!!!

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. :lol2: ............. 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

you most likley have many other scars that we don't need to know about,... like most of us on Wood Barter! :drinks3:
You're right about the scars and such. At least the hand pictured in post 24 has it's thumb and fore finger, unlike the other hand. .......... Nubs and Stubs
