re: Weekend Wonders: Funniest Work Shop Story

About 10 years ago, I was learning how to turn pens, I had a “mentor” that was rather “bumbling”. He really knew what he was doing, but I always wondered as clumsy as he was how he had all his digits still. I was there that day to learn how to do a CA finish….(superglue) he took the cap off the CA and put it in his mouth on a regular basis, so I asked him if he had ever glued his lips to it and he said no…..well about 10 minutes later he did. He kind of got mad at me saying I jinxed him…..he just pulled them apart with his fingers, then pulled the cap off. It turns out….. lips bleed….. a lot…but he wasn’t seriously hurt, just lost some skin.
Needless to say, I don’t use his method.
