sheet metal always demands a blood sacrifice
Ever see a tin knockers hands?
Looks like they tried to stop a tree chipper from the inside

There's 2 kinds of sheet metal workers... Those who have drilled a hole in their own hand, and those who will.
I have a funny story about a guy drilling a hole in his hand.
The first shop I worked, really, the place I learned my ass from my elbow, is owned by three brothers. One day, one of the brothers was at a drill press drilling holes in parts, when he slipped, and drilled a hole right through his finger. Bleeding like a stuck pig, he quickly wrapped up his hand using the finest of machine shop medical supplies, paper towels and electrical tape, and got back to work. At the end of the day, he went to the emergency room, to see if he needed stickers/tetinus shot/etc.
The took an x-ray.
He had a perfectly round hole through the bone.
Now here's the funny part, the same guy, who casually dealt with something like that, had/saw another incident the next week, involving a minor wound with a little blood(can't remember if it happened to him, or if he just saw it)
Took one look at what was a minor cut, and fainted dead away.
One of his brothers was stilltwlling that story a decade after it happened.
