While operating on a bluckie a few years back, I proceeded to hammer my left index finger, then slice it with a mat knife, all within 5 minutes of each other. It really hasnt been the same since. The finger, not the bluckie. He's doing well.

Whenever this thread pops up - it's with great trepidation that I open the page......

Hope you heal quickly. I showed this thread to my wife and she just laughed and said, I don't think we own any props that don't have a piece of me on them.

If we are talking about this years battle wounds, I recieved my first glue gun burn of the year at the Texas M&T last month, and it still hasn't healed yet. How fitting is that?

Accident prone isnt even the word(s) for me. I always find a way to get hurt. And I never fail to lose some blood. But nothing a bandaid (or some stitches) wont cure.

So this is what I have to look forward to as I delve into making or tweaking my props? Cool! I'm gonna keep a nice cold beer, I mean ice pack nearby for swelling.

Now here's a question, has anyone used their injury as an example to incorporate into their prop?

Remember, always try to push the stake into dirt, not cement.
I think we have all given a bit of ourselves, or put a bit of ourselves into our work. If you haven't lost blood, you aren't working hard enough on your props!

Last year Shane almost took an eye out trying to tie up something with wire. He was tightening the wire and the pliers slipped. He had a nice black eye out of that one.

I've also gotten a hot glue burn - dripped a big glob of it on the back of my hand. Just a few expletives from that!

However, I haven't started working on my 2 "big" builds yet - putting a PVC frame in a blucky (requires a sharp object) and a fence (requires power tools) so there are still chances for more injuries / bloodshed for me!
