Sean to make you feel better I'll tell this one.


I'm spot welding new floors in this 356 Porsche for a friend
you know 1/8" holes every inch with a sheet metal screw in every other one.
Lots of spot welds and all need a little grinding in them to make them all the same.
the owner said he will grind while I weld
I'm on one end and he is working the other.
about a hour into it the grinding stops
I keep on welding for a couple more minutes
I go over to see what going on
buddy is shaking his hand and flinging blood all over the place
cut through leather gauntlets and took the hide off two fingers
not too bad but could been worse after getting him cleaned up and headed down to the hospital to get it checked
I look at the grinder he choose to use
two handed old Black and Decker commerical 6" grinding machine
instead of the little die grinder or one of two different 4 " Makita grinders.
I looked at the grinding he had done
and most of the spot weld and metal around them were ground down so thin that it would all have to be done again.
now he just stops by to see how it looks and keeps his hands in his pockets, and has the check book handy


heal up fast
