Am I the only one who finds Blood makes the best lubricant?

The worst case is when you bleed under the fingernails All the pain and non of the benifits

This reminds me when I smashed my thumb at work ages ago. The company made me go to a clinic, and by that time my whole thumb nail was turning red and blue. The "doctor" at the clinic looked at it and was not quite sure what to do. I told him that when your bleeding under your nail, you drill a hole in the nail to release the pressure. He thought I was crazy. I made him get me a pointy scalpel and proceeded to drill a whole into my thumb nail. Then when I broke thru the nail, blood squirted out and you have instant relieve. He had never seen or heard of this, and I had done it numerous times growing up on a farm. Darn city doctors!

That is much easier with a drill press.

Or just a tiny drill spun in with your fingers.

A few of you worry me. After getting ripped up and smashed a few times you should start to get more careful.

The one time I had that problem the doctor heated up a paper clip on a bunson burner, then melted the nail. Seems MUCH less painful than drilling.:thumbsup:

I have had my share of busted knuckles,however that doesn't compare to getting a finger to close to a table saw.....just ask me how I know.....
