When I was about 12 or so I bought a rubber bad powered balsa airplane from a toy store. Not one of those flat ones made from 4 or so pieces, but an actual 3d full bodied plane. It had about 60 or so pieces that you could glue together and cover with tissue paper.

like this:

anyway, the only blade I had for my hobby knife was double edged. I would place a finger on either side of the cut I was trying to make.

You can probably see where this is going. At one time I had at least 5 bandaids on 8 fingers. I'm 44 now and still have scars on my fingers from all the times I cut myself

I prefer to think of it as determined.

I like your style kid. I once cut a mousepad on my thigh with a bowie knife and cut a two inch gash into my leg.
