Who has a Bandage on their fingers?

JUst a quick little poll to try and figure out the percentage of machinists out there that have a persistant Band-Aid on their hands.

I can't seem to work without little cuts on my fingertips and forearms...

Good idea to keep the band-aids in the box- then I'd still have some electrical tape left! (Works good, but it really pulls out the hairs - ouch)

Minor cuts, slivers, and burns from hot chips are part of the job. After thirty years I still have all ten fingers. (knock on wood) When I was a kid in Tool & Die School both my instructors had digits missing.

I just got one....but was at work trying to finish to get back to my CNC machine at home. ....was using a power screw driver to secure deck joists with square head screws. the bit sliped out (as often happens) but this time my finger caught the full brunt of the square bit with motor spinning and "drilled/ripped" a hole into my index finger. Searched rapidly in my truck for duck tape, but had to settle for extra wrappings of masking tape.

note....some of those screws have extra coating in the socket which impedes full seating of the bit....

I think I got a paper cut 2 months ago, but it didn't need a bandage..

Plenty of minor cuts and splinters but thank goodness I have all my digits. (I'm a carpenter).

Just a bit of gangrene from a bit too much nose picking.

Nothing what a Band aid cant fix.

Can you please pass the Pizza over to me?
