It doesn't seem that tiki wanted you to keep your New Year's resolution. Check out this link for protective tape you wrap around your fingers. It is used a lot in factories that handle parts with sharp edges or operations that require trimming with knives. It won't stop a cut from happening such as the plunge cut such as you described but can help prevent incidental contact and offers a layer of protection. You still have to be careful but it is better than raw skin. Lawyer speak-disclaimer etc, etc. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/searchresults.jsp?search_type=keywordandcatmfgindx&QueryString=finger+tape&catindx1=&catindx2=&xi=xi If it doesn't take you to the product, type "finger tape" in the search field. Maybe I should post this in the "tools carvers use" post. Nice to see you carving again. It's off to a nice start. JP [ Edited by: JohnnyP 2006-01-08 13:32 ]
