[TheForge] Re: Fall <grin> winter project.

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Rev. Frosty;
Virtually knowing you ( see, we have virtue, sorta) I'd offer a 
caution stemming from the aftermath of a disagreement with a 
treadle hammer, fingers and my own foot.
The cast was only on one hand and i had orders to fill. So by the 
time i came in to have the cast cut off...it was so battered that 
i'd had to forge a fairly elaborate steel clip brace to hold it 
together. The nurse looked at me in a very odd way..and then so 
did the doctor. He inhaled deeply and shook his head.
I had to remove the steel clip for them. The white cast had 
turned shop brown...the nurse winced as she cut it off.
I've now a finger with a slightly displaced knuckle and a doctor 
reluctant to see me again. The doctor part matters, probably.
So do behave...read all the SF you'd missed while 
working..pleasant knitting...Pete f
