Popular Post Wilbur ★ Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted April 10, 2019 I have had a great uncle's leather club chair for about 20 years now. It is very solid but the leather was shot when I got it. It made me feel nostalgic. I started stripping the leather off which made me feel nervous. I have never been one to work on leather projects, you see. I then took the old cotton batten out and thought about the cotton workers who toiled to make a chair. This made me feel sorry for them. Then the horse hair was removed which made me feel like I could have had a nice pair of shoes made back then. I needed to repair the wood armrest frame but the wood was being difficult as it is a hardwood that is near petrified. This made me feel angry. I increased the size of the pilot hole and held everything in place while I used my electric screw driver. This made me feel thankful for the screwdriver and competent. Then the screw broke. This made me feel angry again. I then moved the pilot hole and decided to use a little more rpm on the drill with the screw. This made me feel aggressive. Damned if the screw didn't whistle through the wood and into my finger. This made me feel like an idiot. I pulled my finger off the screw and that made me feel linguistically liberal. Once I cleaned my finger, I put a bandage on it and carried on with the project. I thought about driving to see Parr8 about the injury but then thought he would remove the finger and give it to a fingerless bum. That made me feel distrustful of transplant types. The end. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted April 11, 2019 Share #10 Posted April 11, 2019 We will want to see pictures of this wonderful chair once your project is done. Things that bring us happy, nostalgic memories (and also serve a useful purpose) are very nice. And I hope your finger feels better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d be emotional too if you drove a 3” #12 wood screw clean through your finger. You might even get a little linguisticly liberal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted April 11, 2019 Share #14 Posted April 11, 2019 Have to say, not what I was expecting based on the title. And I can't say I ever put a screw into my finger, now a drill bit into the tip deep enough and large enough to cause permanent nerve damage in the end of one finger, sure.

Parr8hed Posted April 11, 2019 Share #15 Posted April 11, 2019 Never did finger transplants, just whole arms. You're probably safe. Your kidneys on the other hand.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted April 11, 2019 Share #16 Posted April 11, 2019 Can you use fur of some sort instead of leather? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
