he has inspired me...
1. last year, i stuck my finger in the speed controllers by accident. although that did not hurt, i jerked my hand back so fast that i hit my elbow on the frame and scratched my wrist on a screw .....as well as bumping my head. the chain reaction was rather interesting. i was confused as to what hurt most.
2. 10AWG wires suck. twisting those suckers with my calous free fingers have poked holes into my fingers.
3. do not sit on scrap wood. a nail might be sticking out. (/me cringes at the memory)
4. when hammering a pin out, look at the pin itself and not the kid making noise in fron of you. it's dangerous to your thumb's health.
