For some inexplicable reason I decided to finish my "rustic bottle" with coarse steel wool rather than sandpaper. I really don't know why because there are splits and rough natural surfaces on the piece.:redface:
BUT, I know why I shouldn't do it again.
After lapsing into unconsciousness several times and a trip to the Regional Hospital in Geraldton some 100 miles away, I am back home.
Unbelievably, I do not have a mark or even a scratch to show for my experience, although I do have a very sore thumb and index finger from being twisted around the bottle neck, backwards.
I do think that someone was watching over me at the time. I've done this same thing many times previously and gotten away with it. Proves your luck has to run out some time.
