Going back a couple of years now i was fitting stud work to a small utility room (mainly to cure dampness as it was only single leaf) It was a bit of an odd shaped room so the stud work had a few angles and notches cut into various places and so on.

anyway i took one of the smaller timbers down stairs to cut the notch out. i just did it with my hand saw. on taking it back up stairs i realised the notch was ever so slightly too small. so i got my chissels out.

I removed a small amount of material and took it back to try it. still needs a tiny little bit out

back down stairs i go. start removing and someone shouts for me. so i looked up but at the same time carried on. Big mistake. when i looked back down i saw the cut and thought ahh its not soo bad. i carried on. then the blood came





came quite close to putting the chissel through the veins in my wrist haha

I really must stop looking at this section !!!!

haha its canny like. i had to have 3 stitches put in that. not so bad really.

Done simmilar fin, only mine was my right wrist, whilst fitting a new pain of glass, cost me a severd nerve and 14 stiches, and all this in the process of a days work
