I failed to heed my father's advice...

I did the exact same thing two years ago!

oww must've hurt! the one time i got seriously injured is when i cut off the entire top section of my index finger while trying to sculpt a rubber eraser (that's right! i was still at school and bored to death!) into some weird shape with a pair of scissors. the blood went all over my desk and my teacher started freaking out

[Amie.v]

well.... hope you get better, is it a long scar..  cause the other day i cut myself with a stanly knife and i wouldnt stop bleeding till i grabbed a tissue and kind of pressed the two peices of skin together and pressed hard then it stopped. You could take my advise if you deem it worthy but it mightnt work by the sound of the injury. srry i cant give you more help!

The exact same thing happened to me, and I was cutting away from my body. I just keep catching fingers,

[mrsflibble]

this kind of thing is why I no longer own a cutting wheel. I owned one once. cut myself on three different fingers getting the bugger out of the packet. they were deep cuts too

I have sliced, stabbed, and burned myself so many times it ain't funny.  The worst one, though was when I was hurrying to complete a project for my husband's birthday, so I didn't stop to put in a new Xacto blade.  Cut my left thumb so badly it wouldn't stop bleeding, and had to drive myself to the ER and get stitches.  I do learn, though, and now buy blades in the 100 pack and discard them after each used.

I feel for you. I can not keep the BOO-Boos away.
