Ouch! Today I was working on a small switch panel holding it and drilling a pilot hole when the drill bit snapped and my finger got in the way :lol:

I made a similar looking mess of my left thumb when doing a transfer box mount. The nut suddenly came loose and I minced the side of my thumb when I practically punched the side of the T-box.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I once cut my finger with a wood saw, it was so sharp it went straight through the branch and into my thumb at once, went to the doctor, who then pointed out to me you could see my tendon moving in the cut when I flexed my finger :D
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Urgh! That's properly bad. Just trying to picture it gives me goosebumps.

At least it didn't hit the floor, it could have chipped the concrete.
