Nothing too serious though. I am working along in the garage, when I hear a slow crack type noise similar to a tree falling. I look over in time to see the screws pull from the drywall and my computer speakers, fan, and Ipod go crashing down to the floor, taking out my reloading scale in the process. Lucky though the speakers still work, and they did not fall on the plugs in the back. Time to get my butt back out there and hook everything back up cause I absolutely cannot work without glorious death metal filling the workshop. I got knives to finish. Ugh.:mad:
 
I know the feeling. In the past week I've killed a welder and one of the v-belt pulleys on my grinder...had some damascus go wrong on me too....

hope you don't have to do time for "killing a welder" could get 10 to life for murder......
 
I spent 3 days making cast to pour the fittings for a Tanto I'm making. Had the brass melted carried the mold over to the steel pour table and droped it. I know how you feel.
 
Doesn't it just make you want to scream?

The same thing happened to me once. I was able to catch the shelf and hold it up as I removed all my reloading stuff and stack it on the table, by myself.

During an IPSC match I was shooting my holster broke, my belt broke, the pin on the rear sight sheared off and someone failed to record the score on one stage and I had to reshoot it (that had been my best stage of the day and I didn't reshoot it as well).

And then there was the time that . . .

Actually, you may have a point there. Death metal is rife with dissonant chords, which at high enough volume may well interfere with the resonance of building materials, causing them to fail prematurely.

Either that or it was Satan's fault. He's a real bastard that way.

:D
 
Last nite a collector friend was over and I'm doing the normal little touch ups for him
sqweezing on a set of SW rubber grips on a 38. All going well then I sharpen his wifes purse knife- 5" toothpick old Kabar, I get it sharp and the frame has a set of wood handles (redo by god knows who) on it and the frame is bent so I'm tweaking on it then
I'm tweaking on the fish scaler blade and snap! I'll end this novel by saying I rebuilt the whole knife starting with making new liners- so much for being a nice guy.

Must be something in the air, This morning while forging I snapped the main pin for the cylinder on my press. It didn't snap clean and took out the clevis too. ARRRRG. No problem to replace a pin, but nobody carries a clevis that big locally. No forging until monday.

YOu may have just saved her from injuring herself by snapping the blade at an inopportune moment.

Glad your ok, so what was the cause?

The cause? The technology used to affix the whole deal to the wall in the first place!

Next time attach shelves and stuff to the wall studs, not the drywall itself. ;)

I could see that happening, I have the bass turned up quite a bit.

You know, I am afraid of the digitals. After reading up on a bunch (Dillon included) on different models, a lot oe em are not consistent depending on what is plugged in next to em, Florescent lights, etc. I need powder before I get another scale, I am out of powder for 5 different calibers. Need to save money for that purchase from Powder Valley to make the hazmat charge worth it.
