first ouch this week

A couple days ago I had some forge scale falling on the top of my feet, insede the shoe, and did not care much, but now it hurts me everytime I put my shoes and there is huge hloe where the bubble formed. I'd rather have a few more cuts in the hands... :rolleyes:
 
Anouther shop tip, don't forge weld(or electric for that matter!) with tennis shoes on. Ask me how I learned this :D

Dan I get grinds on the thumbs all the time, the worst was when I was using a Crapman 2x42 and got my thumb stuck in the gard with a 36 grit belt spinning. :eek:

OK,since we are being honest (and none of you can come over and laugh at me),I'll tell you what I did last night.I was flat grinding a batch of blades on the 14" wheel at full rippin' speed.I (yeah,I really did) put my thumb under the belt up on the top slack to "rub" out a deep scratch and -yeah- my thumb and that part of my palm went into the wheel.I felt as dumb as Suzan Sommers on qualudes( I also felt like my hand was a baseball and Babe Ruth was swingin' at it).I have told newbies not to do that over and over again,but still did it myself.The good part is that except for a little black and blue it is fine.The result is a temporary discomfort and a (hopefully) lifelong lesson.I am posting this to tell those who temp fate that fate always wins - sooner or later.
