So pushing 1000 pixels by hand is not a good idea , blisters in both thumbs that burst

So pro tip - buy the pixel pliers

Wouldn't it be awesome if we pull the pliers apart (and cut them shorter to keep the pixel ends) and add each half onto the thumb and first finger of the gloves, so pinching your thumb/finger together would cause the plier 'ends' to grip the pixel and push easily and quickly with ease????

did i just invent plier-gloves? ;-)
 
It’s a right of passage to destroy your finger tips/palm/hand on the first few hundred pixels :)

You will be surprised how quickly they tuffen up. But give it a few day haha
 
After year one, I learned to pace myself and only do so many pixels a day to prevent blisters and sore hands the next day. Plus the use of gloves also helped a lot. I only use the pixel pliers for removing pixels as there are other faster methods such as fingers and a 3d printed pixel pusher for the difficult ones.
 
I don't get thumb blisters. (Though the side of my finger has gotten tougher.) I hold the wire between my thumb and side of my forefinger, that way most of the force comes from the thumbnail...
 
my fingers are useless today, so sore, the skin ripped off, so i have exposed soft skin underneath
 
not sure if she will ok with this, but i can ask her
 
Thats crazy.. pushed WAY more than 1,000 pixels in day with nothing like that. No pliers or gloves etc, no blisters. I do have heavy callused "Man Hands" :)
