    I managed to cut myself with my table saw the same day I shot myself with a nailgun.

    The tool wasn’t running, and I wasn’t cut with the blade. On this particular saw the fence rides on a pair of extruded aluminum rails whose sawn edge the factory did nothing at all to dress. I reached under the table to retrieve the miter gauge from its little scabbard under there and scratched my hand real good on the corner of the table.

    Earlier that same day while attaching the face frame to a cabinet with an 18 gauge brad nailer the brad went a bit sideways and nicked one of my fingers.

    Both of these were booboo grade injuries. I went to bed that night with a band-aid on each hand.
