Ground my left index finger with my grinder

[bentbaggerlen]

I run a truck and trailer equipment and repair shop, The biggest problem we have with grinders is that they remove the gaurds from them. OSHA slaps you with a fine for every missing guard. Had a grinder catch my shirt once or twice, that was no fun. I'm just thankful theat we don't ware kilts.. That co :jawdrop: uld hurt

Was it a grinding wheel or a wire wheel? The wire wheels LOOK for loose clothing.

There you go! Real men wear kilts.

Here are a couple of me, taken at a Jacobite commemoration at Robert 'Rob Roy' MacGregor's grave, in Balquhidder, Sterlingshire, Scotland.

Just remember lads, I can run a lot faster with my kilt pulled up than you can run with your pants pulled down! :nod:

you have to have blood,sweat and tears for it to be complete. usualy the tears come with the blood

Not an uncommon sight here in the UK. And youre right its not a pretty thing to see, especially with grown men. Mind you if girls do it thats not so bad. He He

Andy,

.... under house arrest. That's funny in spite of your injury.

I know! The conditions are pretty tight. My wife isn't even allowing me to come 'n go thro' the garage. She thinks that I'm gonna pull up my shirt sleeves and start working. I hope it heals soon!

Thanks!

That's an awful stiff sentence for a little blood, hopefully you'll get paroled soon. :nod: Or you might have to break out when shes not looking. :jh:

I think it's might be easy to get released early..

Tell her, "Dear.. this is great! The more time I sit here, not actually working on things, the more things I'm dreaming up to buy and work on".
Be careful though.. it could backfire and put you in the :nod:

She's already sick of me trolling the web looking for parts. The cut has nearly healed. Most of the meat has filled up. Just waiting for the skin to go on and I'll be back in business.

I don't know how it is with you guys, but with my wife, each time I buy something for my bucket, she has something of her own listed on the budget. If I protest, there's one of her standard "But you don't mind spending on your car?!...." replies.

Yeah, it could backfire if one ain't careful!

Cheers,

Andy

I agree. Those wheel guards are dangerous! I make sure that I keep my shirt and any shop cloth away from the wheel when I use it. Here's a pic of me working with the very tool that took a piece of my finger with it. I try to be careful in every sense possible. In retrospect, it's not unnatural that the tool slipped from my sweaty palm, but for my left hand to be in the way of the wheel when it slipped was completely irrational and unlike me.

I'll have to be doubly careful in the future.



Cheers!
