Hi

I’m always leaving a trail of blood around the garage.

Three things come to mind, ever been welding or grinding under a car and had hot slag or metal go down your ear? It hurts.

This one was scary, I was cutting some metal out of the back of a bug I was wrecking, the car was just a shell, I was laying sort of kneeling on the right hand side floor of the car, cutting out the rear luggage area with an angle grinder, grinder bit into the metal, it jumped out of my hands, went past my face and landed on my foot which was near the pedal area, went through my leather shoes cutting the top my ankle and big toe, then ripped my jeans, the grinder didn’t have a dead man switch, lucky I was wearing leather gauntlets and face mask.

Tried removing the moulded rubbers from my 944 spring plates with a cheap steak knife, cut tendons in my left index finger, my finger still doesn’t work right.
