DIY guys, how many times have you burned yourself?

a few. two notable shop accidents: i wasn't looking and picked up the soldering iron by the hot tip once. that left a white-ash burn on my index finger and thumb that took months to heal.


the other was a dremel tool loaded with a pc board bit... got away from me and plunged into my thigh, snapping off the bit about 3/4" long under my skin. that was rather disconcerting to remove with tweezers and lots of pressure. doing surgery on yourself is eerie, and compounded by being pantsless.

 

 

WTF!??

OUCH!

I rarely solder anymore but still manage to burn myself... last time I was teaching something to two of my guys, and put my hand down right on top of his soldering iron. 3" long burn on my palm. Went through a bottle of aloe while it healed... be careful and respect your iron.
