Sawdust Makers box (1)
Thought I'd get started on this today rather then leave it till too late
Never made a box before (at least on the lathe)
Timber is sumthing which was a fence post between no 26 and no 28 (house numbers that is) It is about 100 x 75 x 120 mm

Thought I'd turn it down and leave a couple of sides/faces with the weathered look
Attachment 112543 Attachment 112544
went to change the tool rest and used the gouge on my hand instead
Attachment 112545
Now I know why the experts say "don't put the chisel under your arm while adjusting the rest" Though I imagine they might have been talking about something else
It is now sitting in disgrace on the bench. I'll play with it again next weekend, mayberegards

As one might say, "that's a cut above the rest".
Sorry, should not joke about it but could not resist
the temptation. Hope it heals soon and you get
to complete the box without further distraction.

'Tis a bit of a scratch really but **** it hurt
So I finished off some pens, have to make the thin parting tool anyway
Ray
Nice play on words
Hurt, I'm still wincing. And calling meself a silly B******
If you're pinning your hopes on me making a better box then some others on the forum then This is my first attempt
Anyone have any idea on how to finish such a box. The ones I've seen on sale tend to leave the weathered wood looking naturalregards

not blood stained Nick
I reckon an oil or friction wax is nice with such hard woods Nick

You are letting that tiny scratch stop you? It's not bleeding any longer, you don't have to worry about blood on the wood, what's the problem?

I had a similar issue on the weekend. My shed is roughly the size of a toilet cubicle, with a drill press in the middle of it. I reached past the drill (switched off, of course) to grab something off the shelf. The back of my forearm just brushed the tip of the brad point drill bit left in there. Man those things are sharp! The cut is about 5cm long and maybe 4-5mm deep . Enough to bleed an awful lot!
Stupid way to score an injury
Cheers,
Dave...but together with the coffee civility flowed back into him

what Nick ain't tellin' us, folks, is that he was on the phone to the national health service in a New York minute....probably said that his hand was nearly sheared off
Cheers,
Ed

It may be a smallish cut, but here's a largish bruise (a fall in the shed last week):
