It doesn’t matter how accurate your combi-square is – if the wood you are using isn’t flat.
Yep. Wasn’t sure what was going on until I realised one side of the piece of wood I was working with wasn’t true.
This is day one to be fair 🙂

Get well soon – and beware of the blood thirsty router plane as well!
Don’t ask how, but it’s the tool where I got the most cuts from…E.
PS: Your cut is rather deep. I cut myself with the marking knife too, but never much deeper than the skin. Therefore I assume that you work with relatively much force. Perhaps that may be a bit too much force…
Good luck and keep in mind the words from an other great woodworker – Frank Klausz:
“If it’s too tight – don’t force it. Just get a bigger hammer.” 😉E.

Hehe, someone’s learning a lot today. 😛 For me, it’s a toss-up which is worse: a marking knife cut, or a newly sharpened handsaw jumping from it’s kerf onto my thumb at full speed.
A knife wall only needs to be about 1/32 – 3/64 deep, enough to see and prevent tear-out. Too deep, and the cut is widened, which can defeat the advantage over just using a pencil.
