This is a quest to make all the slides featured in the Whittlin Jim's "Slide of the Month" in Boy's Life magazine. (Hopefully without doing lasting damage to my hands or fingers.) Blogging my progress along the way. I completed my task in March of 2017 and now post my own designs along with some other "Slide of the Month" contributors.

Punctures, Cuts, and other avoidable injuries
Mid Nov.
I doubt there is anyone who is carved who hasn't at some point cut themselves. Now by this time I have had my share including one very bad cut a while ago. With this in mind I got an early birthday from my family... a Kevlar whittling glove. It is made so when you slip with your knife the glove stops you from getting cut (and yes it works).
The second time I used the the glove I had a big slip and the glove saved me from a major injury. The downside was now I had a big hole in the left index finger. I have sewed it up for now but I should order another glove.
