hacksawed the end of my finger -while listening to someone explain why you should pay attention when sawing!!
stripping 3 core wire with my teeth - suppose i should have unpluged the other end first -result 1 missing front tooth!
and using a super duper sharp kitchen knife to cut a washing machine hose - managed to cut down to my knuckle.
also had a cortina bonnet on my head - ex wife was SUPPOSED to be holding it up - and let go to wave at someone!! :evil:

Wasnt in a workshop, more a kitchen...

Sharpening large kitchen knife for suinday roast using some nasty daft little hand held V shaped thing, decided that one more "stroke" should do it, slipped and went striaght through my hand, into the bone/cartilidge of the knuckle joint on my index finger. Was a bit messy as the skin instantly peeled back leaving me looking at the inside of my hand while it peed blood out. 12 Stitches later and i was put back to rights, but it split again when they were removed, nasty! Just got a big lump, slightly immobile finger and scar to show for it now.

JD LWB:
I've not done anything serious to myself in the workshop (touch wood).  The worst I've done is nearly cut my thumb off with a Stanley knife.  You all know the scenario, you're cutting something and want to get it done quickly, you're holding down what you're cutting with your left hand and guess what. The knife slips!  A nice clean cut down to the tendon (luckily it didn't catch it).  A trip down to A & E and 5 stiches later, I now have something to show the little ones why you don't play with knives.

--- Quote from: "clbarclay" ---Take one 9 inch angle grinder, jam the blade so it shoots upwards and stick a body in the way and i'm left with a scar for life. I'm darn lucky it was just the plastic handle that got me rather than the disc.
