    Could have been worse. Glad you’re on the mend. Gotta get back to gear testing, right?

    Mark, this was a form of gear testing (grin).

    Seriously: Way stupid. Learned a lesson.

    Were you trying to saw your hiking boots in half?

  4. Lou August 30th, 2006 8:02 pm

    Something like that, only it involved a Jeep.

    That’s the most dangerous tool there is. I’ve got multiple scars on fingers and forearms from working on log homes. A friend of mine that works on vehicles cut through tendons in his forearm with the larger size grinder. Watch out! Dangerous tools. The only good thing about them is that they cauterize the wound!

    Ditto on a dangerous tool, just did the same thing. I don’t use a guard on it when scribing wood, and it got me. Funny I was thinking the same thing, at least the wound is somewhat cauterized, at least it sure smelled like it.

Got something to say? Please do so.
