[pianotech] A Happy New year?

[Encore Pianos]

Gee, I must be SMARTER than you, Dale.  Because about half a second BEFORE
the chisel slips from the wood I am paring in an awkward  position,  that
little voice in my head says "This is really stupid".  Then the chisel dives
into the finger I have so thoughtfully placed in its trajectory, and the
blood starts spurting.

And have we all learned, yet, that immediately prior to these "mishaps", we
have sense of foreboding? (Perhaps, even, a "still small voice" within
saying SLOW DOWN!!!)

My altercation with a router 10 years ago didn't go so well either Terry.
Very traumatic honestly 

 Lost the tip of my left index.  ie. 3 or 4 mm .  It was a mess, but my Dr.
is an artist.

 I am very fortunate to be able to still play the bass, guitar and piano.  

 

 I haven't mastered picking my n_ _ _  yet though.

 

 I have vowed to never have another hand accident.

Home for lunch one day, I whacked my left index finger tip off making a 
sandwich, with two more to tune that afternoon. Swellness... I got the 
bleeding stopped, taped it up, ate the sandwich, and went back out and 
tuned 'em.
 
Haven't done that yet this year, so far.
