Dodged a bullet this morning...

[Team Valhalla]

I had a really small print job for a customer to knock out this morning.

Printed it and laid it out on the table to trim the edges. Like I said, pretty small, so I grabbed a straight edge ruler - not one with a vertical guard (fore shadowing). Trimmed sides 1, 2, and 3... and then it happened.

As I made the last cut, I sliced down the side of my finger! I immediately thought... "Way to go slick - that's gonna make it hard to pick your nose for a few days" I expected to see a good amount of blood - but not a drop. Obviously I sliced it just deep enough to take off a good chunk, but not enough to bleed. Got really lucky.

Lesson learned - slow down and use the right tools.

One of the reasons that cutting mats are so important. I have seen shops using 1/8" pvc to cut on or tin...but if the knife gets stuck in one of the grooves... bye bye finger tip.

Or just cut yourself so many times the scar tissue gets nice and thick.
