No problems with the bubble. I just stay bedside with it until the epoxy begins to tack up.
Sounds like what the pros do to me :) I'm just getting old and know quite a few old tricks and feel like I need to spread them around before they are lost.
Gunkie. Email me your phone number and I'll send you mine. cdiercks@yahoo.com will get it done. Last time I was at the show, Tomo had just got his line of boards out in public in a major way. Thought he had the most inventive designs at that show.
The Treehouse is pretty damn cool Warbler. Keep that tree happy tho, lol.

Have to agree, that's an odd looking rig of unobvious utility...

Do you go to the boardroom show? It's next weekend and I hope to make it late one or both days.
Many of us remember Rex Marechal from back in the 70's and 80's when he worked for Moonlight and then started RM Shapes. He'll be competing in the Icon's of Foam shape off tribute to Al Merrick this weekend.

Hey carpenters, I've got two doug fir splinters in the meat of my thumb. Both are around 3/32 thick and, I'm guessing, 1/2 long. Both went in at around 45* and broke off subdermally when I pulled the glove that they went through off. I've been building for a while now and this is the worst I've ever experienced. I'm currently soaking my hand in Epsom salts and typing one handed. Digging around with a razor knife yielded only a cut, I couldn't find either of them in my hand. Any tips for getting these bad boys out? Pretty sure one of them is near a nerve, as my freaking hand is useless right now from pain when I try to grab anything.

No hospital for a splinter, I can drink, get stoned, and hack at my own hand for free. :)

Brandon, One thing to remember is soaking your hand in "some" liquid can also cause the wood splinter to swell up. Can sometimes make it harder to remove depending on the location.Although it sounds like yours is soaking in blood . I always bust out the razor knife and start digging as soon as it happens. Although we use to always joke about splinters....circle it and get it at 4:30 ! Cheers and good luck.

For sure, all the above methods have been used by me in the last thirty years. I just spent a painful session with my amazing 87 year old grandma. What she wasn't able to pick out with a needle and razor blade will fester as I guess it should.
Now, my hand is all wrapped because grandma cut the sh#t out of it trying to retrieve the fir f*#king splinters. My buzz is kicking in, and I'm about to get stoned.
Maybe I should just stop pussyfooting around it and cut the sh#t out of it.
Out with the bad!
