Title: Advanced finger milling techniques to increase.....PAIN!
Post by: fakr on May 14, 2013, 11:02:14 AM: Here's an example of what happens when a gain mill roller is stuck, and a friend thinks its a good idea to spin the power roller while you're rolling the stuck one.

Needless to say, it hurt and I was lucky it was just the pads of my fingers and didn't roll my whole finger tips down in.

Also needless to say, there was a lot of swearing heard and anger felt.

Thats what a mild pinch did...
