re: Admitting our dangerous (and dumb) mistakes might help others.

A couple of years ago I was drilling a half hole on the edge of a board with a forstner bit and did not use another board as a back up or clamp the board down. As I started the hole the board shifted and pulled my thumb into the bit. I was very fortunate as it just cut the nail right down the middle, only scratched the skin underneath. I remember thinking as I was starting the hole that this probably was not safe and I should do it another way but… I also remember as it happened I said this is going to hurt tomorrow. I went to an emergicare clinic and they glued it back together and there was no pain at all.
