The painfully sensitive fingertips one has at the end of a big session clipping and filing figures to prepare them for undercoating. Ouch!

I'll add: blisters on my palms when I've been clipping large amounts of minis.

Occupational hazard from not having a manual job.

Never had this problem....maybe you need a better pair of clippers

What the heck are you clipping?? I occasionally need to trim a base to cram an extra figure on a stand but that's about it.

Hotspot when drilling with a pin vice on the other hand ... with you there!

I have a LOT...A LOT of (whispers) other manufacturers stuff in strip that I'm getting through.  I never base in strip so have to clip them.

Eg: last night, 24 bases of orcs @ 4 per base; all strips.

Poorly hand (that is the ONLY reason, honest :D

Fortunately, I have nearly reached the end of them: onto my PD stuff I bought in the sale :D :D :D

Well, if you're not buying Pendraken, you deserve everything you get.  :P

The way little chunks of the top layers of skin get stripped off my thumb and index finger, on my left hand..... through mixing the putty when it's really sticky.

Sometimes I think Phil has an extra special spade for all the holes he digs for himself

I DO have a special spade......But I use it to dig little holes to put scissor traps in.

Beware, Phil has an extra special black book.

But, seeing your a frequent user of the forum, the odds you're not in that one is very slim indeed  :P :P

He's got a darn sight too many black books if you ask me.

Last night he rang me up and asked if I remebered Beaconsfield and did I want to rekindle the flame.
