First safety rule of meat cutters and woodcarvers is "Remember the safety glove". Rule  2 Is"It goes on the hand holding the work"! 

. Trust me, I know!  Other good rule is  "keep fingers away from exit hole when drilling"!  Haven't drilled myself lately, but I laid open my finger making an end cap for a powder horn 3-4 years ago!  Heal well!  Good looking paint job so far!
