: Well i was planing a rolling bevel on my very first strip and i'm
: already a half fingernail short of a full person. Just because

: made it far enough through the wood and slice, took a second to
: figure out what that strnge feeling was and then the blood
: started flowing. Just a warning to everyone, be careful!

Funny... when I was laying down the first two strips on my NH hull, I accidentally nicked my middle finger when doing the running bevel... didn't realize it until things felt "sticky".... anyway, if all else fails, I could ID my boat by the fingerprint or DNA from that bloody fingerprint on the inside of the left shear strip... I glassed over it as a reminder....
