Be careful out in the garage! I ran a drill through my face!

Thinking about your accident....

When I was a teenager I was doing a job at a tool and die shop that
involved drilling thousands of 1/8 inch holes in 1/2 inch steel plates.

It wasn't uncommon to snap a bit every now and then. One night I woke
up with a terrible sore arm. Hurt So bad I went to the hospital.
The x-ray showed a nice piece of drill bit stuck in the upper bone of my arm!

I never felt it go in...must have really been flying.
It's still there, they didn't want to dig it out so I got antibiotics.
Always wore safety glasses after that.
