I saw a horrific scar on the left wrist of a magnificently skilled woodworking teacher, who worked with dangerous power tools every day, but it was a chisel which injured him. Whoever has a left hand scarred by a chisel, you are not alone. It only takes a moment of inattention when one is in a hurry.
