I was TRYING to cut 3/4-inch maple flooring for the addition, but the chop saw apparently didn't feel like participating in my little DIY project.
It sent a little projectile whizzing right at my hand and tore open a slice that had JUST HEALED and bruised my palm to boot. (Yes, I sliced my hand in the same spot with a utility knife. Can't even remember what I was trying to cut.)
Perhaps I need to invest in some gloves to go along with the safety goggles that hubby keeps telling me I should be wearing.
On the positive side, my hand probably protected my face from another injury, so I'm feeling pretty grateful right now. However, I am a little miffed that it's going to be hard to work for awhile and I have to patch a dent in the sheet rock from where the wood ricocheted off my hand.
The DIY work never, ever ends. But, it was my left hand, so maybe I can still find something to do...
