Dont do this!!!

#1 Post by sc racing » Wed Dec 22, 2010 9:42 am

Yesterday I was making some shock brackets and was grinding a piece of flat stock on the belt sander ( which I use all the time) I guess I pushed too hard or something and it grabbed the piece pulling my hand in I ground the side of my finder flat and half of my fingernail all the way off. It doesnt feel very good :shock: while that was all taking place the piece flew out and hit me in the face. So be carefull when working on your stuff.Merry Christmas to me stupid:

Sorry dude......hope you feel better.

I know your pain all to well :smt091 :smt091

Drink some of that spiked Egg Nog and that will help you feel better... :thumb:

Try to have a Merry Christmas.

Ouch...sorry to hear of the injury.

Its a good reminder that we all can work safer.

My best work seems to be done when I'm bleeding. The car sure seems to run faster when I bleed on it!

Hope you get to feeling better. Put some peroxide or iodine on it and it will be ok.

Hope you have a great holiday season.

I wonder if Windex would have worked on my second wife ? At one point I considered bug spray.

Come to think of it, spending time with her was just like running your hand through a grinder.

Face shields and good gloves go a long way...but I think everyone is guilty of the ol' ' :roll: I'll just shave this down quick'...routine
