Hi Et,

LOL...stabbed myself yesterday with the Stanley Knife, great timing ;)

I definately agree about not using the gloves with machines, I do though like to plane edges of strips and prefer to hold onto them and my planes are sharp, they usually only nick the gloves, better by far than bleeding all over the boat ;)
