I did this on Monday so the thread didn't slip too far, but it got onto page 2 before the bandage came off... :roll:
For the record - 1mm cutting disc. :lol:

I was lying under a van once, backed up against axle stands wire brushing (twisted knot on a grinder) the inner valance when it snagged on something, ripped from my hand and landed on the floor in front of me, on it's back, still going. I couldn't get out, so I had to pick it up again. Just as I reached out, it vibrated over onto it's side, shot across the floor and straight up my sleeve. That stung a bit!

have you thought that the grinder mafia might have a hit out on you, and so far they have lost many good hit grinders to the cause... its only a matter of time.

The one that `ALWAYS ' shits me right up, is when the drill catches a hint of sleeve on the chuck :shock: :shock: :shock: , usually don`t hurt or bite but it doo shit me up. I remember years ago finishing off re shapeing some timber work and I stood back to check symmetry etc and for some reason I was distracted and started tapping my fingers on the bed of the leccy plane and yes you guessed it :shock: :roll: :shock: started it up and tapped at the same time and whizzed the tops off two or three fingers right on the balls of the finger tips, scared the crap out of me and I didn`t look while I ran the cold water on them for at least two fags :? but it was just lots of blood really and just a bit more than the skin skimmed off. That made interesting work whilst fiddling in the nail bag for a couple of weeks, bit of an over enthusiastic reminder when you needed a nail :mrgreen:

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,, We`ll be comparing scars in a bit :lol: :lol:

Kruger on TheLateBay has almost chopped his top lip off with a grinder. Don't look if you're squeemish.

...and the chap in the next unit sliced his thumb from tip to wrist with one on Tuesday - 18 stitches.

I've had enough reminders this week - not particularly looking forward to work tomorrow.

Ooh thats nasty :shock: poor soul and he's got no straws

 

[bertiethebus]

'kin hell :shock: :shock:
Thats one lucky/unlucky escape!! Imagine if it hit his neck :shock:

 

[kruger]

I'm stocked up on straws now! and I'm getting by on tea, soup and chocolate fingers.

Looking like a bit of a monster at the moment but hopefully it will heal up ok, as seems a very clean cut, goggles/gloves/ well covered up and the guard in place - and it still happens, full face mask and kevlar all in one body armour suit next time!

I had a friend who broke her jaw, she got bored with soup after a while and went on to baby food, they do some interesting flavours these days and farleys rusks

Hope youre back on your resto soon
