There was a request for a thread on stupid stuff done while working on a 914.
I will start...... I had my six up on my lift working on the rear suspension. I remember looking at the clock and it was about 6:50pm. I stood up to do something (I can't remember what now) and the next thing I know, I am sitting on the floor and my head hurts. I touch my head and I am bleeding. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Seems I raised up under one of the rack arms and cracked my head open. I look at the clock and it shows 7:55 PM. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) At that point, I decided to call it a night. When I told Betty about it, she had a fit! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Her response was "What if you had been holding a cutting torch!!!". Now she insists on checking on me every so often when I am in the garage and it gets quiet for a long time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Ok... Who's next? |

Drilling a hole in a piece of sheet metal that I was fabricating for the 914, I'm wearing gloves and being very careful. Then I decide to use the drill bit to elongate the hole...the bit slipped out of the hole and thru the glove and my hand. Went right thru the fleshy part between your thumb and fore finger. The worst part was that it wound up in the leather glove, I had to reverse the drill back out of my hand to get it out. Ouch! Adreniline got me thru it, my wife found me in the garage on my knees looking a little pale!
I wear rubber gloves a lot when I work on the car, smashd my finger while using a hammer, hurt like hell, but I kept on working. About a minute later I looked down at my hand and the glove was full of blood...kewl! Stupid is as stupid does! |
