    Aint it crazy that just before the needle goes in you have that split second to say to your self @@@@ then after the fact you again say rather loud @@@***&&^% then start trying to remember where you left the bandaids from the last time.
     
  9. Yup, get that tough bitt of skin up near the antler burrs you fogot thin enough and "Pop" :eek: another hole in your skin! Follow that up with a dab or two of laquer thinner or cape salting for fun ::) What a way to "burn" the day! LOL
     
  10. Its usually the dull needles that get me trying to get one more cape done with out sharpening

    That will teach you where to hold, and where to poke for next time. I use to get poked on every job, now I seldom ever do because I DONT AIM THE NEEDLE AT MY FINGER!

    I've done that many times and sometimes nothing will stop the bleeding except zap-a-gap. My wife laughs at me everytime she sees that I've had to glue my finger again.
