First Successful lidded box

[Andrew Arndts]

Nice little box of cherry that took some time to well get unstuck from my chuck not to mention, as I was trying to get it unstuck somehow I managed to get my Awl shoved into the webbing between the thumb and first finger.. bled like a stuck pig.

Ouch!! Not sure why an awl was the tool of choice, but sounds like that hurt.

Nice looking box!

Sweet mercy that sounds painful!!

Good looking box. Way to try an interesting shape! Now you'll have a place for your band-aids!

BTW CA is great a stopping small cuts like that. Just don't spray accelerator or you'll wet your drawers. (not that I have any idea about such things)

The box is cool, and the first one is always the hardest.

Pretty little box, and sorry about impaling your hand, that must have been a wonderful sensation, or at least it will be after the pain goes away.. Look at the bright side, it doesn't look like you got any blood on the box.:wink::wink:

well the bottom line is that the awl cause some damage, Why hasn't someone developed the Awl Stop like a Saw Stop..... sadly the wound is a puncher and I don't think CA would really help.
If anything, I am married to a Nurse... downside I had to wake her up. All she said was, "Take two aspirin and don't wake me 'til the morning." then she handed me some ice... then went back to bed.

Soak it in warm soapy water. Puncture wounds can get infected easily since you drive the bacteria on the skin into the wound. Soaking helps to open the wound and helps it heal easiser.
