I did something stupid last night. I rushed and it caused me to get hurt.
I was using a barrel trimmer to get everything squared up. Instead of placing the blank in a vise or using some sort of clamp I held it with my hand. While using the drill something caught causing my hand to go into the barrel trimmer. I took a large chunk out of my index finger and several smaller cuts on several other fingers. It could have been worse, luckily no stitches were needed.
What I should of done:
Not held the blank in my hand
Make sure the barrel trimmer is sharp. (I has pushing harder than I needed to)
Slow Down
Just a reminder that even the simple task can be dangerous.
