Comp idea, Big Bash 2007 perhaps?

[dedee]

I reckon that there could be a lot to learn, as well as a lot of fun to be had, with a similar comp.

It would certainly give the "old tool brigade" an opportunity to compare old iron or wood with the modern tool manufacturers.

I think there could to be an end grain shaving category as well.

Sounds like a lot of fun. How about a "thickest continous shaving" contest, too? :twisted:

a paslode 4" nail through the other thumb

Ouch !!!! I slipped with a paslode pin gun and put a pin between my thumb and finger . Id nearly finished the job so i changed hands and did the same again to the other hand I went home after that !
Ive also got a lump just above my knee where Mr Stanley knife decided to play , very little blood , mostly a clear fluid ouzing out :-s Ill stop now as im making myself feel sick .

Battle marks? I have a split lip now just a scar from where I fell through the floor of a double decker stand at an exhibition and then straight through the falsework ceiling below that ending up hooked like a fish on one of the suspension rods for the ceiling, with the rest of me wrapped up in the cable that had previously been in the floor / ceiling.

Can't put pictures on here, they would need an X certificate :shock: Back about thirty years ago I put a 1/4" mortice chisel into my wrist, still got the scar to prove it. For about five seconds after I done it I had a nice clean little hole in my wrist, then the fun started, I kid you not but blood shot about three feet into the air, a quickly wrapped it up in a rag covered in Cascamite then sat down before I fainted. I must of done a good job though when I came round It had stopped bleeding, I didn't even bother going for stitches. :lol:

Another accident that comes to mind was at school. One a week we had a two hour gardening lesson, I think it was just a cheap way of getting labour. Any way back to the accident, one of my class mates put a fork through his foot ( quite a common occurance believe me, well at my school anyway) what was different this time he was showing the class how he done it, and promptly done it again. :lol:
