ALWAYS ,ALWAYS ,ALWAYS Glue a small peice of balsa or scrap ply to the handel of your hobbie knife!!!(to keep it from rolling off your building surface) I figured this out the hard way, that # 11 blade is like a freak'n' harpoon!!! I would be less[sm=red_smile.gif] imbarassed to say that it landed in my foot But it did'nt ,I was seated at my work table at the time ...and .. well ... just use your imagination[&:]
And 99 times out of 100 it will land pointed down. I have dropped my knife off the table many times and it sticks in the red oak hardwood floor every single time one making a perfect slice right between two of my toes and sticking my slipper to the floor. I now wear my steel toe work boots whenever I'm at the building table.
