Drilling a hole at face level. Drill slipped, and caught me up in it. This is a pain that is kind of hard to describe. I'm sore, as you can well imagine. More than a little embarrassed...more than a little pissed off at myself. First time since growing the beard in '82 that anything like this has ever happened. Ouch!

Ouch mate!!! .....glad your ok that would have been pretty scary stuff.
You know they have things call scissors that work better than a drill..lol..
 
Thanks, brother. It's cool. It stopped at my face. LOL I had to manually unwind a Milwaukee drill from my face. That was interesting, to say the least. But of course, being a car guy, I finished what I was doing before going in the house to check it out twenty minutes later...

hahaha why am I not surprised you finished the job before seeking help....I'm sure Kris was not impressed?

You may have to do a 'comb over' beard version hehe

Not quite sure what happened. Was doing a slow bore, being sure not to put too much pressure on it, but I must've angled it somehow, and it slipped. Jaw is starting to tighten up now. Gonna be fun trying to sleep tonight.
 
Damn man... I'm glad you are ok!!! I had a microfiber cloth get sucked into my high speed cordless drill on my bench yesterday - I can't imagine being on the receiving end of that, sheesh!

Big Japanese style bow to you brother for finishing the job, though!

Thanks, man. Had all the tools out and garage wide open. What's a guy to do? LOL Once I determined there was no bleeding, I figured I was fine. Lots of weeping on the skin, though. Lots! It's a weird feeling of numbness and burning both at the same time. And I don't even have any whiskey to self-medicate! This is a bad day! :eek:
