If we took all of the hand/finger injuries this membership has sustained from 12 years old to 25 years old it would be in the millions of events.
Similar injuries after 25 years old, or after ten years of learning the hard way, it would drop to one tenth of that number. Is there some way to capture the caveats in words for the uninitiated? However, I have seen 60 year old men handle basic tools and you immediately know they don't know a thing and they could read all they want and it would not matter. Just talking. I did know the adjustable wrench thing only by being yelled at by an old timer less than 20 years ago.

My father was a machinist at Continental Motors and I remember him telling me which way to use a wrench when I was about 10 years old. (early 1960's)
It stuck with me.
