How bad can a 6mm rod cut you?

[Riversideartglass]

This pic is my pic from this morning? 8 stitches, $239.00, & 2 hrs in the ER.

Post your pics everybody!

So far the guy with the pic of the burned left hand has been the best.

Dam, I bet that bled like a mofo.

Superglue and butterfly bandages prolly woulda saved you the $239.....wicked cut though.

...what were you doing when you cut yourself? besides blowing glass were you pushing a mushroom or what? sorry you got hurt.

edt i cant look at the pic so youll have to tell me.

I was braking a 6mm rod with some nippers when the rod scraped my leg. I was surprised, It did not bleed that much! But it is about 1 ¾” long and 3/8” wide. I thought of closing it up my self, but it was pretty big and I could see muscle & fat cells.

I work sitting down, thanks to me hitting the ground the same time my parachute did, when I was in the Army, about 10 years ago.

Owww. Glad you got stitched up though.

Damn, props on surviving a parachute malfunction. I know a 12mm blow tube can get me 4 stitches (on my thumb) damn nippers.

Wow thats nasty!

Can someone link me to that guys burned left hand?

Duuuude! WTF! So glad you're OK! Drop by when you heal up.

I wish I had pictures. I skewered 2 of my fingers with a 7mil color rod a couple years ago. Took a couple of surgeons to dig out the broken glass.

A little cut isn't much compared to a bad parachute! Peace.

I just had 2 rods snap off on me last night. Lots of blood - 2 tiny cuts. Nothing spectacular like that one - which reminds me of the motorcycle accident I had...

[kbinkster]

Ow! I hope it heals well.

6mm tubing while trying to make a coil condenser... i know it doesn't look like much, but i couldn't bend my finger for almost 2 months...

Hey dude with the stiches,

If you wanna save some future cash, take the stiches off yourself. It is really easy to do. Really.

Yea, I’m a .... Nurse. So that's would not be an issue. But thanks for the advise! B
