Yeouch.
I've messed myself up in pretty bad ways before, but even then, that's not pretty.

As HFsstc-freak says, it's kind of a pity you didn't have one of these:

Ouch. I've had nasty burns before, my part time job is technical for a production/DJ company, and lights get *very* hot. Even with gloves I can get burnt, I have no pictures but I hope you heal fast there.

As an example of nasty cut-type injuries that can happen in the industry, I provide

I am not convinced that even a saw stop would have saved me on this one, in the demo they move their hotdog slowly toward the blade where as when this happened my finger was moving at about 100mhp toward it. Even if it had only let the blade move 1 tooth after I touched it I would still have a big rip through my thumb to the bone. The problem might have been saved by having those feathers that keep kickback from happening, but I am not really convinced they would do anything on a smooth piece of plastic... Really the only way to have 100% prevented this would have been to be holding the piece with something else (either using a radial arm saw and having it clamped to the table, or using a sliding clamp on the saw) so that the clamp got chewed up instead of my finger.

Although I know that I am going to be ordering the rest of my plexi fro

and having them cut it down to size for me or using a hot wire

I made some of the drops on fourth of july weekend, but on some of them I accidentally burned-off the tails... I could not break them with blunt objects to save my life... I have not tried cutting tools though, and I still have them around here if you can suggest a way to break them...

Clamp in vise? Throw em at a concrete wall? Worst case scenario, place the drops on ashphalt and carefully place a cinderblock ontop and drag the drop across the pavement which should break the 'skin' and make it crack at least.

tried the vise, the wall, giant, tractor size hammers (for their montrously sized pins), but I am sure the cinderblock and pavement would work, as that could make irregularities that might affect the surface tenson holding it together... but they are gone now...
P.S: I used a nail and hammer...
