Why The Cover Project is Dangerous

[SnesGuy]

Watching YouTube while trimming covers doesn't help either =P
Damn near cut the side of my finger off.

Again someone gave sharp knife to a kid... when will they learn?

That's why women say that man can only do one thing at the time, don't know why but i'm thinking that they are right  lol

I used to mod MegaMan Battle Chips as a hobby. I'd buy a shit-ton of those NT Warrior Battle Chip 5-packs, cut them open with a utility knife and them mod the contacts so that they would act as different Battle Chips. I can totally sympathize, dude.

A bit more on-topic, what's your setup for cutting covers? Ruler and utility knife? You've illustrated why I don't do it that way.

Yeah, I plan on getting a guillotine cutter at some point. Utility knife and a square.
First injury in over 100 covers, so i still have more than 90% accuracy =P

Also, I can literally say I've poured my blood/sweat into my collection

I've not yet cut myself cutting a cover, not even close. I have one of those slide cutters, it works fine.

We missed an important question here...

Is the cover OK?

Besides a small smudge of blood it was fine (wiped off)

Heh...sometimes I wish these forums had a "thumbs-up" button I could click.

....and this is why i use scissors!

I did the same thing lol. I was watching youtube videos while cutting covers with an x acto knife and nearly took a huge piece of my index finger.

i hate those little cuts, especially paper-cuts, they always bleed a lot. I cut my finger on a laptop whilst opening the back and it bled like your finger in the photo. amazing. I've had puncture wounds that bled less than the small cuts. Am I making sens? i need some coffee. I just woke up. long week.

hope your finger feels better.

Welcome to the club lol. I bet you had to hold the 2 flapping pieces of skin together right? Don't forget ice for 20min and keep that son bitch wrapped (changing bandaid every couple hours).

Super Glue and IB profien. Just like when I fileted my thumb with a steak knife

No need for super glue as blood does most of the bonding work. I cut myself with my straight razor shaver every now and then when I forget its sharp lol and I usually just wrap it. IB is awesome for that too.
