No, you just have to be somewhat special to manage to do it.

I super glued my fingers together when I slipped holding it. Had a nasty cut down one finger where the skin came with the glue.

My favourite hobby injury was told to me at Warhammer world by a store manager.

When he was but a lad him and his friend were gluing in their FLGS . . . his friend was gluing away not noticing that his failed atempts at gluing together an elf was getting super glue on the table. Some frustration later, his friend decided to slam his head on the table.

So yes, don't glue your head to a table it's not a good idea. But yeah both him and his mate are GW managers . . . scared? =p

I shouldn't even be allowed around sharp objects without powered armour on, I have had sooo many injuries! To give a brief rundown, have had stitches in both hands, ( 19 in the left, 6 in the right) three seperate times. 2 were work injuries, one was an exacto injury. When my son was maybe 1.5 years old,I dropped an exacto into his calf, it stuck for a second, he shrieked, I was horrified, pulled it out, his mom still dosn't know about that one, as it would likely result in divorce. The exacto cut to the left hand was in 1993, I was doing something stupid with the blade, (which is sort of a pattern with me), hacked into my index finger around middle joint, laid it open to the bone, blood gushing, I slapped a paper towel over it and asked my brother to take me to the hospital. He was going through this "paramedic" phase, and wouldn't take me unless I agreed to show him the wound, which he wanted to try treating himself. After much argueing and bleeding, I showed him the gash, he looked shocked and responded " dude,you need to go to the hospital". 9 stitches later, I'm back home, still trying to disect a metal space marine with a dull exacto blade. It's a wonder I still have hands. Was maybe not the dumbest thing I ever did, but definitely in the top 3.

You really should wear clear safety goggles when doing any hobby sanding, super-glueing, filing, cutting, etc. But then again I'm overly careful, (I wear goggles and earplugs when I mow the lawn....)

I was painting some Crimson Fists the other day and I cut off my head on accident.

Same thing happened to me and my mates the other day. Annoying when the happens, isn't it?

I know, right? My wife was pissed that I made such a mess. I made my We'll Be Back roll though, so it was no biggie.

We'll be back eh? Mine was feel no pain. Beeing 100% honest, I didn't really see how that helped me out, seeing as my head had been cut off. But I'm still on Dakka, and that's all that matters.

The thing that hurts the most when I start a modeling project is my wallet.

Well, with the obstacle (read: head) removed, there's nowhere for those pain signals to go, sounds good both RaI and RaW.

Good sir, you have enlightened me to a whole knew world of Rai

See, I didn't get my pre-med degree for nothin'.

Wanna join me in my conquest to remove as many peoples obstacles as we can? Before the police stop us?

OuCH man that sux. When I was in College. I went to my desk to start painting. I was wearing sox and no shoes. There was a tooth pick on the carpet and it went through my sock and got wedged at just the right angle so that it went about 3/4 of an inch into the webbing dirrectly in between my big and 2nd toe. On my left foot. At first I decided to shrug it off thinking I just stepped on somthing and the pain would go away. It didn't. It hurt more. I looked down and saw a tooth pick sticking out of my sock. I hopped over to my drawer and got out my scissors cut away my sock and saw a tooth pick sticking out of my foot this time. Had to drive myself in a manual transmission car to the urgent care office where they pulled it out.

That hurt. I was hobbling for 5 days.

Also one time a hobby knife slipped and I cut my left index finger so deep I have permanent nerve damage. Esp, since at the time I had no money for stitches. I just left it be. still have the battle scar.

I now the proud owner of a glue burn scar on my head thanks to the galactic timing of an insane kitten, a sneeze and hobbying. \M/

hmm...
just got one yesterday...
sent a knife through the tip of my finger digging straight through the nail too...
o well, left pinkys are pointless, right?

I'm a sucker for cheap super glue. Y'know, the ones that don't give an eff on the amount that splurges out of the tube. I swore off buying anymore Warmachine Man o'War minis after the umpteenth time I bonded with them.

my most recent one was trying to glue a grot head on its body. I couldn't find the head for some time. Apparently a glob of superglue leaked out onto the head, which then proceeded to attach itself to my hairy arm. painful.

A tip for using cheap-a superglue: place the tube on paper. That way you don't have decorative superglue tubes on your desk that won't come off.
