Hi All: Excuse me if their is an unusual number of errors in this message, my
left hand index finger is under half an inch of gauze which makes typing
difficult. I just got back from the emergency room after an X-Acto
knife got away from my and cut the dickens out of my hand. (I couldn't find
any chicken livers. 10 pt reference) The accident occurred while
I was preparing some plastic tubs that I was converting into sci-fi
buildings for wargaming purposes. I got three stitches and a tetanus shot (the
latter was surprising painless, it was the former that stung a
bit).
I warn any and all miniature wargamers to be careful with your tools. The life
you save could be your own.

This spring I had two stiches in the web between my left thimb and index
finger... the Xacto knife slipped and went in about 1cm. DON"T Cut toward your
hand!

When I trim, I cut towards my thumb in a paring motion. The control is quite
good (at least for me). So how do I save my thumb from being cut to ribbons? A
local store (Lee Valley Tools) sells green "tape." It's not really all that
sticky to anything but itself, but it's a fairly thick mesh material. A few
layers of that, and even an Exacto knife won't get through.
