So what did you do today?

[Sloughfoot]

Drinkn beer, stropping knives. Nothing else to do waiting for the dishwaher to drain so I can watch this high loop work. Or not.

I got a little over six tons of 3A modified. Truck went into reduced power mode so it wouldn’t engage the pto. I shoveled that truck off. My wife helped a little but it had her whooped pretty quick. And the tractor had to run for over an hour before it would move. $65k Duramax with pretty frequent issues at 21k miles.

You jam it in a port or twist it up in your shirt.

Shirt. Sounds like you have experience with this

Maybe, lucky guess, I swear. You can't prove it. ha ha. I twisted an angle grinder up in my sweatshirt 20 years ago too. Loose clothing is a real shop hazard. Now I have lathes and I think about it more.

I was getting it closer and closer trying to get it out of a shadow. Completely focused on not buggering the inside of the carburetor I was narrowing the throttle shaft on. Forgot all about my shirt. Only other time I've ruined a flex shaft was when I put a Horror Freight mandrel in fat end out. It bent 90 degrees, twisted the flex shaft and smacked me in the hand.
I'm in the process of getting a lathe tooled up for machining cylinders. What could go wrong?

Hey still not as bad as a 7in angle grinder and wire wheel. I'm lucky I was wearing heavy coveralls.

Lathe accidents? Been thirty odd years.
A guy had a conveyor roller shaft set up in a lathe. The shaft was too big to fit inside the headstock hole, so it was chucked and the other end was running in a steady rest.
I think the operator leaned to look at the tool point condition, still on the tool post.
Lathe was still running.
He had a scale and such in his T-shirt pocket. This tended to make the shirt hang out a bit.
We figured the rough burr on the last cut snagged the shirt pocket. (the reason he leaned to look at the tool)
He got danged lucky. It pulled his shoulder against the steady rest and he already had his right hand on the saddle when he leaned in.
It pulled his T-shirt completely off of him. Bit of a bruise on his shoulder from hitting the steady rest and what looked like a couple of rope burns where the shirt was pulled against his skin.

Yeh, those angle grinders will give you a heavy case of 3rd degree rash real quick. My Dad had a wire wheel throw a wire up his nose and into his sinus.

Angle grinder,,, you smell the damage before you feel it,,,,trust me,,

I met a guy that got himself wrapped up and yanked on so hard by a large angle grinder that it jacked his back up, put him on permanent disability.
He was one of those special kind of dumases though.
