Re: machine shop horror stories

Also not a shop, but I was patching the floor pan in my jeep. Cut a piece of sheet metal and was holding it with pliers. Turned to grab gloves (good for welding) and caught the back of my hand on the freshly sharpened edge. Lets say I could see parts of my hand I shouldn't have been able to see.

I have a good 3 inch scar going from the middle of my and to the first knuckle of my index finger. Probably should have gotten stitches, instead dumped rubbing alcohol on the cut used a few butterfly band-aids as well as plenty of medical tape and went back to welding.
