so, i went to mcmark's shop today to work on my car. mostly prep work for the engine test-fit.
lots of cutting sheetmetal and grinding down spotwelds etc. then on to cutting out the /4 motor mounts with the plasma cutter. i *thought* i had it all covered, safety wise, got the goggles, gloves, noise protection ... spent about 5 hours cutting & grinding. then, on my drive home, it felt like i had a sunburn on my arms, but i couldn't really see anything. so after i got home, i take a shower and now i can clearly see that both of my forearms are *covered* with thousands(!) of tiny burn marks!

When I took an intro weld class, they said one of the worst is getting a hot spark in your ear, or worstest, a bit of molten metal can burn through your ear drum. Cotton only beanie or hat. They actually mentioned this about welding cars because you often shove your head in close to see in tough places. The welders mask doesn't necessarily cover your ears.
