Handy

By screwed - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was teaching a woodshop class. We were using power tools, including drills, and pieces of pine wood. While helping a kid to hold a piece to practice drilling, he went too far forward with the drill. It went through my hand. FML

I guess wood and penetration aren't always a good thing.

Uh, no, it's more Fhislife. Sure the kid might feel guilty, but he's not the one with a drilled-through hand, is he?

In reply to #32 It's no excuse. He's a woodshop teacher, he should have known better then to stick his hand anywhere near where it could have gotten hit with a drill. YDI for putting your hand in an unsafe place while someone with no skill with a drill was operating it.

To #64. To brace pieces of wood to to screw them together, its necessary to put your hands close to the drill. Shows how much you know about power tools and putting things together.

108- just because he had his hand drilled through doesn't mean he can't type. Last time I checked people are born with TWO hands...

If you were a better teacher you'd have taught him of such dangers.

Your an idiot for holding your hand on the other side of the plank. Thats what wood clamps are for! So in summary, YDI and next time get a kid to hold it. ;)

You put your hand on the other side from where the drill was going in? You're a moron.
