Dangerous Handtools--AGAIN :~(

>So there I was merrily contining to skin up the inside of my shed with wafer board this afternoon and dang if I didn't cut my self with my handsaw on my left index finger right on the knuckle.
the wafer board I am using is all scavenged, so I had to do some "scabbing" in today. I cut one piece just ouside of the line and wouldn't you just know it would fit by just that much. So, I take it stand it up on edge in my workmutt and figure I'll just use my Jack Pro saw and just skim to the line. Right hand holding saw, teeth towards me, left hand holding other end of board, stoke, stroke, SLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIP! right into me poor finger. I think four teeth got me. Bled like a stuck pig. I didn't say nothing except maybe OOPS, but no naughty words. :~) Went and stood on the cement steps and let it bleed for a while just to let it clean itself out, then went inside rinsed it with cold water, pressed it to stop the flow, and went back to work in about 5 minutes.
Ran out of Wafer board, so I went back to the dumpster and scored enough to finish the job tomorrow.
Also managed to to stab my lefy index finger with that Yankee Screwdriver again to day too. :~( Wasn't as bad as yesterday tho. Today it was more more a graze and a small pinch.
I thinking of using power tools tomorrow, what cha' think?
