BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS!

Goddamn, i thought i had died. There i was, grinding away on a pair of spring perches that i had just torched up. all is going well and smoothing out nicely.

sparks are flying onto the tool cart, about 4 feet to my left. no biggie. no rags, or paper, or gasoline, or anything that can light on fire.

Then it happens. I lay into the grinder, all of a sudden... BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG!!

I thought someone had snuck up next to me and started fireing off rounds with a semi auto. I just about had a goddamn heart attack.

Lesson: DONT LEAVE A STRING OF BLACK CATS SITTING IN YOUR TOOL CART!

:laughing: motherfuckin sparks touched off the fuse and just about kilt me. :laughing:

I can't help thinking of how you felt with it all going off behind your back while you were in too awkward of a position to quickly ascertain the source/cause.:laughing: :laughing:

I take it the fuses were woven together?

Does that question make me an "inquisitive idiot"

At school some dude was grinding and the sparks hit the titanium shavings from the bandsaw and started a fire. He didnt even know it was him until the fire got put out. Luckily it got put out quick enough that it didnt burn the lube hose on the bandsaw

That is a good idea since I always store my high explosives in my toolbox :flipoff2:
