i haven't been doing too much pottery related this week. on tuesday while working on the garden i shot myself with a framing nailgun. now, one might ask: what were you doing with a nailgun in the garden? bug hunting? while that sounds fun, no. we are building a raised garden and i was building the forms. i have never had a self inflicted injury in all my time as a carpenter and framer, 4 weeks off the job and bam, curled nail into the left index finger, such a newbie mistake. you'd be surprised how much you depend on your non-dominant index finger. it swelled to the size of a sausage and was very tender to the touch, not to mention unbendable. probably at least another week before its useable again. so it is.
i was able to mix up a bunch of test clay bodies yesterday. just waiting for them to dry and we'll get back to work. the studio could use a good cleaning, maybe i'll do that......

hehe, me too.
wait till Michael Kline sees this and gives you his account of a similar accident. ouch.
When I read this yesterday it sent shivers up my spine and all the hairs on my arm stood on end. I hope you get better soon. Good that you've got lots planned to use the time constructively while you're out of action. Yeuch, that must hurt like Hell!
I enjoyed your previous post by the way.
