Hello All...
Two years ago, I was working on some new terrain when my exato knife slipped
and sliced open my index finger. It took six stitches, a splint, and a tetanus
shot to patch my back together.
A couple of days ago, I decided that my Ogre MK V needed a new paint job. So I
let it sit in a bowl of 409 to strip the paint and glue so I can start the
process over again. This morning while I was shaving off old superglue from
the model... Slip... SLICE! The same blasted finger too. Fortunately it was a
bad as the last time and I only needed three
stitches and Band-Aid.
Anyway, does anyone know where I can pick up a pair of kevlar gloves? I don't
want to go through this again.
A restaurant supply shop. There is a chain mail half glove used to protect the
hands of people using a meat slicer.

Mark, try US Cavalry's Web Page at:
http://www.uscav.com
They've got a couple of pairs intended for cops who have to frisk people who
might have questionable items...

Hmm... rather than kevlar, which probably won't be _that_ good vs sharp
knives, how about butchers chainmail gloves?
You can also try the local sporting goods store. Look in the fishing
department. I have seen kevlar gloves for about 2 years in these departments.

I think the idea is to cut away from you and your bidy parts:)

Mark,
Check out:
http://shop.woodcraft.com/woodcraft/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=2271
they've got leather thumb guards and safety gloves (Kevlar, Spectra and
stainless steel) for wood carvers. Should do the trick.

Fishing shops sometimes carry a kind of mail/kevlar glove (to help
clumsy fishermen from doing what you did when gutting fish).

(Hey, I cut the top of my left thumb off with a power saw a few years ago, so
I know I'm clumsy...)
Rule 1...
Cut AWAY from your body/hand...
Rule 2...
See rule 1!

The generic don't do X doesn't cut it because sometimes you have little choice
(you have MUCH greater control on a pull cut than you do a push cut).

Ever work with a draw knife? You can't push that sucker. When working with one
set your feet firmly work without too much pressure and try NOT to
disembowel yourself. It's amazing what one can do with a draw knife -but
it is a little sobering to use one.

I started to mention that (I'm something of an old tools fanatic, I even fail
to finish enough projects I might qualify as a galoot(tm))
but I figured wood working was off-topic.
Draw knife, I much prefer a spokeshave. And of course when you make your tools
Scary Sharp (another tm) care is required.
Of course, this is when I am not attempting to plaster cast terrain features
for various wargames.
