Re: Mistakes

i forgot about ths in my first post but always were saftey glasses around tools even if your not using them!!



i was making the diamond plate triangal corner gussets for our forks and i had to sand each three edges down on each one i think i did like 40 of them I had asked one of our mentors dave to show me an easier way to do it (on our combo bench and circular sander) and he took the triangle and started showing me and the sander sucked it out of his hands and shot it through the gap between the metal bench and the sandpaper and flung it out the other end VERY FAST!! We dident relieze what had happened untill i saw it fall out of the air and onto the floor 30 feet away

it had come about two inches from my face and the back of daves head!!


the moral- always pay attention if anyone is working even if you are very far away!
