Thx buddy--it's coming along--slowly but surely. Keep that digit wrapped up! I hate when I hurt my hands or fingers--especially a right side one. I'm righty also.

This is the one time I wish I had an automatic transmission vehicle in my fleet

These hoes can take a lot of stuff in the rear . Couldn't shut the hatch so I was reminded how bad exhaust fumes are. Also makes me want a louder more aggressive exhaust and bigger cam it sounded weak.

Not sure if booboo pictures are allowed but here is a reminder not to hold onto the thing you are drilling with a 2" hole saw

D’oh!

It's probably not as bad as your shoulder but its certainly not something I hope to do again in the future. The last picture is a bit of meat stuck to the center cap I was drilling. Ended up with 6 stitches and an appointment to go to a joint specialist they think I might be missing some tendon.

Ah crap!

 

[Dantheman1540]

Ah crap!

I really think it's going to be fine but better safe than sorry. I typically wear some Tig welding gloves anytime I drill, cut or grind anything but my current pair blew out a finger just before this incident and I threw them in the trash vowing to pick up a new set on my way home the next day. They likely would have saved me completely and for just $7 at China Freight.

I try to never throw those gloves away--even with blown out fingers lol! Now--if there's 3 or more blown out on one hand.....that's a different story--but is the palm still good ? I'm gonna get my $7 worth!!

Ehh once they get to where its a pain to put them on and take them off I'm less likely to wear them and then I get a trip to the ER

Understood!

 

[Dantheman1540]

Understood!

I think I'm gonna buy multiple sets this time so I have no excuse.

Yep, clamps and gloves are priceless. Nice one. I haven’t hurt myself like that since my twenties. And I’ve spent my whole life doing construction. I learned young lol.

That's a good idea I should grab more clamps today at China Freight. It was pure stupidity on my part, I had my headphones in and Slipknot was blasting so OSHA went out the window. Like I used to say working my old safety manager job "when OSHA isn't followed OSHIT will follow"...... It certainly did along with some other choice words.
