The only stillin injuries I have ever had, were both blisters.

Picked up a lebig right after my boy soldered it, and burnt my arm reaching around a burner stand. No pix of either. I try very hard to not have accidents, in this hobby. And also 'try' to not do anything without first thinking, but every once in a while, I do make some move without thinking (how the burns happened).

aside from the fact i can think of no step in the still making process that uses a nailgun!
Where has all the rum gone? . . .

Cant even begin to imagine how you end up with a nail right through a finger from still building. Burns and various abrasions, something dropped on a foot???......yes. But a bloody nail????

Pretty sure the guy just admitted it was fake, but I did burn through my hand the other day while soldering a funnel together. Went to turn it slightly and the hot edge when through my glove AND thumb like a hot knife through butter...Ouch. At least it was coterized...
