As some of you know, I'm working on a flying version of the old Soviet N-1 moon rocket. A few days ago, I reached the point of cutting out the 2 trellis-type stage couplers. To keep them as one piece wraparounds, you have to cut the inner triangles out with a hobby knife (unless you got a laser). Also, they are constructed of 2 pieces of cardstock (I'm using 110 pound) glued together for additional strength.
This makes for roughly 80 triangles that have to be cut out (plus the external triangles).
It took a few hours, but it got done for both wraps.
However, I've noticed for the last 36 hours, my 'pointer' fingertip is numb. I'm not concerned of course, I still get good blood flow and only a minor bit of dexterity loss. But this is the first time I've ever encountered this.
Anyone else have stories of unexpected hobby induced impairments (other than the standard gluing body parts or cutting yourself)?
