craftgrrlSo, from the horror stories that have been gathering over at this post, I thought I could (very easily) come up with a Top Ten List of dangerous craft tool. So here we go (no particular order).
Top Ten Most Dangerous Craft Tools!
10) The Sewing Machine. Seems like one false move and anything from fingers, to hair, to clothing can and will be sucked in.
9) The Sewing Machine Needle. Apparently, this little blighter is given to snapping and flying at unsuspecting eyes and skin at any given second!
8) X-acto Knife. Oooooh Mama! If you don't know why this one made the list... then go carve a linolium print block by hand. I dare you.
7) Knitting and/or Crochet Needles. Although these needles are so big that you'd *think* they'd be easy to spot, apparently they have a way of wedging themselves into the most unsuspecting places to wait for a pair of poor, innocent "buttcheeks" to come a-sittin'!
6) Rotary Cutters. The stories behind this one are an advertisment for cutting tables in and of themselves. *shudder*
5) Scissors. Yeah, so what if we're told to be careful with them from a young age... those sorts of messages don't always stick. Be honest, who in here has *never* ran with them, EVER???
4) High-Temp Hot Glue Guns. What in gods name are these still on the market for??? Okay, so I do know, I even own one. There oughtta be safety gloves marketed for these things, though, that's all I'm saying.
3) Super-Glue. *Insert yr own funny story here* And by the way, acetone takes it off. Yeah, as in nail-polish remover. Write that down everybody. Acetone.
2) The Common Iron. As any seamstress can tell you. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then yr skipping those parts of the pattern that say "PRESS", aren't you? Shame on you.
1) The Kitchen. Yes, the entire kitchen. Cooking and baking can be a craft, too. A *dangerous* craft. You've got knives, graters, food processors, blenders, ovens, stove, dishes that *aren't* so mircowave safe, hot cooking oil... it's like a torture chamber that sometimes produces delicious results.
Anybody got any honorable mentions?
