Here are a few tips I learned the hard way.

1. Wear safety glasses when grinding. You only get one set of eyes.
2. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby when working on fuel lines.
3. Disconnect your battery and your FI control box before welding on your car.

What are your best safety tips? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
