Well, while doing woodworking yesterday, I suffered a fairly bad eye injury. I had removed my safety glasses and was wiping sweat from my face and suffered a fairly bad cornea abrasion. I either had a wood chip on my shirt or it was somewhere on my face and it contacted my eye when I was wiping sweat. Nothing permenant but it will take a few days to heal. Anyway, don't expect any updates for at least a few days.
A chronicle of my attempts to create an early clock using only traditional techniques.

Take care to heal up properly, eyes are just to important.
That's frustrating- to get an injury not while working but while wiping the sweat off your face.
I hope that means that you won't be trying to read these comments for at least a few days. Hydrate, rest, and cover both eyes (that will help prevent unnecessary movement in affected eye, but then you shouldn't be reading this right now anyway...)
I hope you're feeling better now.
Thanks, my eye is feeling better but sill haven't been able to work. Unfortunately a friend who has battling cancer for the past two years lost her fight on Friday. Most of last week was spent visiting her in hospice or fielding calls from distant friends. I hope to get back to work soon but the enthusiasm hasn't been there.
My recommendation- get back into the shop pronto, but don't work on the clock quite yet- just hammer the snot out of some orange-hot mild steel. Make pointy things out of large diameter stock.
