One thing I will say about being a woodworker's wife is that life is very rarely dull. Neither, are his shaper cutter knives.
This past week I was in the house and suddenly my husband comes running into the house to the bathroom sink. I follow him to see what is going on and see blood trailing down his hand.
Apparently he had just finished sharpening one of his shaper cutters and was trying to put it back onto the machine when the wrench he was using slipped slicing his finger. Now this is one of the great reasons why sharp knives are always better than dull ones, the cut was so clean there was no pain. Yep, no pain. And believe me when I tell you that it was a pretty deep cut. It took about ten minutes for us to get it to stop bleeding enough so that we could bandage it up.
Luckily, since it was a clean cut, he didn't need to go to the hospital. I am just grateful that this doesn't happen often. Sure we get our share of splinters, which are sometimes just as bad, but those don't tend be as gory in nature.
