Re: machine shop horror stories
This didn't happen in robotics but my sophomore year in metal shop me and a buddy were using the acytelaine torch to heat up what would become a crowbar and a fire poker, respectively. I finished before he did and was cleaning up when he came up to me and asked my opinion on whether it looked evenly pounded. Me, being smart, decided that this piece of metal warranted a closer look, so i grab the piece of metal, which I found out was still hot. I had burn marks all over my hand after that.
LESSON: if something is being held with vice grips, do not grab the piece of metal with your bare hands.
