Special Bundle: 'Wound Care' book + Slipcase + Our Favorite Shop Bandages

Every workshop needs a way to take care of cuts, bruises and more serious injuries. "Workshop Wound Care" by Dr. Jeffrey Hill (an ER doctor and woodworker) gives you exactly that.

To make the book easy to find in an emergency, we've paired it with this US-made slipcase in red canvas that has been hand painted with a white cross so you can see it across the room. The slipcase can be hung almost anywhere thanks to its brass grommets and screws (included).

And, because cheap bandages stink, we include a collection of 20 of our favorite brand of bandages in the shapes and sizes most woodworkers need.

"Workshop Wound Care" is definitely a field manual – not a medical textbook. The book is organized so you can quickly get to the information you need. So that when you cut (or burn or crush) your something, you can turn right to the instructions you need to take care of the problem.

We were surprised by how much we learned about wound care while editing this book. We set aside our coagulant dressings and hydrogen peroxide and have instead been using Dr. Hill’s instructions for dressing wounds so they heal faster. 

Also surprising: The first aid stuff you need is not exotic or expensive. Dr. Hill recommends items you can get easily at a good pharmacist or online. We have built out our shop’s first aid kit to match his recommendations. And this process has brought a sense of relief. Off-the-shelf first aid kits are hit or miss when it comes to having what you need for the workshop. After reading the book, we feel prepared for *almost* everything.

With the help of "Workshop Wound Care," when (not “if”) you hurt yourself, you’ll be back at the workbench in the minimum amount of time, and with as little agony as possible.
