Re: Set myself on fire today

All I've done is almost rip my fingers off while working on the garage door and impale my legs with about 40 pieces of wire about 1" long that came flying off a cheap Harbour freight wire wheel.....

Re: Set myself on fire today

yeah, i love it when you're using a wire wheel and you look down and there's wires all stuck in your pants and shirt- a whole lot better than your skin and eyes though, for sure!

Re: Set myself on fire today

talking about a wire wheel, used it a few days ago and i had wires flying all over the place. pulled some out of my shirt after i was done. then i started working on a way to support my cab. in the process of bending over, i felt some pokes around the man region and sure enough i found two wires. a min or two later i still felt one but couldnt see it, it went through my jeans and into my underwear. guess i have to war a jock strap to use the wire wheel or end up getting the 'do it yourself vasectomy'

Re: Set myself on fire today

yeah, when the wire wheel started going bad it went through my jean shorts and right into my leg....my lower leg looked I had pimples all over once I pulled out all the wire. I thought I was just getting debris flung off the frame but it was the wires sticking in me

Re: Set myself on fire today

well I should add , i got the nick name burney at my old work. When something needed welded or cut , I just went and done it, but some how I could catch rags on fire no matter how far I out set them away from myself. I was welding in a flannel coat one day. The boss man was there watching, He said hey barry your on fire. I just looked down, with my welding glove put myself out, laughed it off then went back to welding. I had about a 4" hole in my coat after that. But i could about write a book on all the stuff, I've done.
