Re: close shaves???

My most common injury at the moment is sticking my finger into hot melt glue (making an antweight). I don't know why but even though I know it hurts my first action when I'm using it seems to be to shove my finger into it

Anyway, I have a totally irrational problem with needles and injections and it's not that I'm scared of them, it's a subconcious thing.

I managed to mangle my finger when I was drilling one of the brackets for Hydras CO2 bottle. Usual thing wrapped itself around the drill with my finger in it. Nice bleeder and it was pouring out. Managed to get it to stop bleeding and it looked quite nasty so thought I might have to go to hospital for it so I wrapped some insulation tape round it, finished off what I was doing and then off I went about two hours later. Nurse looked at it, gave me a rollocking for getting it dirty and covered it in iodine. Got out the tetanus jab and then preped my arm. Next thing I know I came round with head between my knees and the nurse wetting herself. Couldn't believe that I could do something like that, carry on working, not complain about the antiseptic which stung like hell and then keel over with a little injection

its weird , hot glue isa lot less hot than solder , but the hot melt glue burns i have have really scared compared to the soldering iron burns.

I think we should all just give up robots and go play chess for a hobby less dangerous

Re: close shaves???

something i remember myself doing during winter, it was cold so i was wearing badly made wool gloves and i had to drill something so i held it down with my left hand and with my other free hand i held an electric drill - as soon as i started the glove got caught on the drill bit and got wrapped around it, so much so that the drill stopped spinning, didn't hurt luckly then had to reverse the drill to get my glove off it.

Andy & Rob:

I'm not keen on needles either, I mean I'll have one, just not keen on it. Worst one was one inside mu mouth for having 2 teeth removed.

Lets see, robot injuries, where do I start ?

Ants: Hot glue on fingers, cut fingers on metal panels, solder iron burns, drilled fingers, and I stabbed myself with a screwdriver a few days ago fixing Stewie's flipper on

Feathers: Only real close shave I've had was when HA's axe went off with Me and Dave M sat next to it

Heavy: Lots of cuts on the panneling from picking it up and working with the metal
