The big and the mini vise clamps
A week before Chinese New Year, I bought a bigger vise clamp and put it to good use immediately over the weekend purchase. And in the midst of working on two whales back-to-back, I injured myself. But on the left foot! Huh? Where’s the connection here?
Let me explain…
The vise clamp worked beautifully and held the block well; I was able to shape the block without exerting any strength on the left hand which was good. But in the midst of the carving action, I got up too fast and caught the edge of the table so hard with my left foot. Ouch hardly describes the excruciating agony.
The shooting pain was right on the Lateral Malleolus, the bone bump and it bruised beautifully. What a sight to behold…
Top (L): the day after, Top(R): after golf, a week later and Bottom: four days after the knock
Those cute whales are such killer whales I tell you. It was a good two and a half weeks before the bruise subsided. As for the pain, it is still there.
