Default Re: Post your carving "bone head move" here

Tom Ellis was nice enough to make me extra discs for my Tomz knife massager, I used a spray adhesive to attach 2000 grit sandpaper to the disc, the directions said if you don't want a permenent bond let the glue set for one minute. Sprayed the glue and sat down, took off my glasses, had a sip of coffee. Well after one minute I set the paper on the disc, only problem was the sandpaper was upside down. Guess I forgot to put my glasses back on. Just did this the other day, don't tell Tom Ellis.

this might not be the same type of bonehead move but it definitely makes me blush, so the day before my wedding i was putting the finishing touches on a bird i was carving as a present that i would give my wife on our honeymoon, so a couple of hours before everyone arrives at my house i dig my gouge in too deep and off pops the head of the poor bird and the gouge goes into my hand... three stitches, made for funny wedding pics though ha

I broke a piece of carving off and used a hefty squirt of gel super glue. I had to much on there so I used a toothpick to scrape off the excess. I didnt want to lay that toothpick down on my table so I put it where you put toothpicks..... LOL Yup.. glued the sides of my lips together with toothpick firmly embedded. Painful extraction.
