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.

Show it anyway

He's not neccessarily a bad influence...what if the kid was stupid and just went really ******* fast?

idk its more like fthekidslife i mean think how bad he's gonna feel about this! D:

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?

Dale, no power tools! That's my toothbrush! That's not your toothbrush!

oh, well i'm almost done anyway!

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.

How the hell are you typing this, then?

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...

well he is screwed I'm sure he can fit one in there

so you on the computer with one hand

**** off 64. he deserved to get his hand drilled? let's see you try to help a moron with powertools. sure op's a woodshop teacher but you don't actually think he put his hand in the way of the drill? the Moronic kid probly wasn't even listening to instructions.

i think he should persue a career in hand jobs you only need 1 hand for that

All of a sudden, I'm reminded of Beavis and Butthead...

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. ;)

Awesome username but that must hurt :S hopefully you got you tetness shot

YDI. Your priority as a teacher should be to teach those kids some SAFETY!

u know, there are safety rules to avoid such things, haven't u learnt from ned's declassified school survival guide lol

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