This is the result of labor work and obsession: Blisters

Today I continue to put more hours into my glove-making project. Today's job is to fine-cut the pieces according to their outlines. I did it successfully. However, when I was down to my last piece, this happened:



I got two blisters on my left index finger. What the. I didn't even notice them until I was about to cut the final piece. Maybe I was too consumed by the tedious work of cutting plastic pieces.


This is before the fine-cutting begin.


This is how far I progressed before the blisters stopped me. Only that bar-shaped piece labeled 'L' was left uncut.

Future plans, after I finish cutting the final piece, I would need to scrap all the pieces on pavement to smoothen it out their edges (that's my alternative over buying the expensive rasp). Maybe I'll let my finger rest for awhile before I continue cutting again. I hope it'll not take that long.

Syazwi Mazli had two blisters on his index finger from cutting a chopping board that day.
