Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

What's mind blowing to me is they're 12 people who have never used electrical tape and paper towels for a bandage. What is wrong with society?
Do you guys never get cut and scarred?
Do you go to the ER for everything?
Do you not do anything risky?

My wife (retired RN) and my daughter (ICU RN) make sure I am stocked with Surgical Glue in my shop. This is in case my electrical tape and paper towels are not enough...

In fact, they have so much confidence in me they have taught me to cauterize a real bad cut with my torch!

I have used electrical tape as a bandage more times than I can count. True story.

 

Torch!

That's what the soldering iron is for!

 

As one of the 12 I have used:
Duct tape
Gaff tape
Painters tape
Rescue tape
but not Electrical tape

 

I was in the Air Force. We were taught not to cut ourselves or go the ER if we did, as that would spoil our safety record and the Wing would not get a down day at the end of the month.

Besides, shouldn't you just let a cut bleed out until your blood clots, so you don't get Tetanus.

 

Best of wishes!

 

I was one of the 12. Same thing, lots of various other tape, or rags, or whatever, just not electrical tape. And I have built a kick ass med kit with steri strips and a suture kit.

 

Good luck to you both!

Good morning and Happy Friday everyone

 

Good morning everyone, it’s Friday! Have a great, safe and blessed day.

 

Morning everyone!
Happy Friday.
Gotta clean up my mess from yesterday.
Busted butt on 4 parts yesterday again using way oversized stock.
Just to find out I hosed all of them using the wrong size drill for the npt.
Dammit at weld now oh well haste makes waste so they say.

 

FOD bag wrapped with safety wire. These jets aren't going to inspect themselves and god forbid you break into the first aid kit on the aircraft, you don't want that kind of heat from safety and bio when you go get another.

I love when my company tells me they gave me the wrong measurement on something when it’s all done. Then tell me not to worry, machine time is free.

 

I had an old Johnson 2hp that was doing the same thing. After a lot of aggravation I found the drive shaft wasn’t seating in the crank all the way, due to rust and crud inside the crank splines. Once I got it cleaned out and greased it was running good as new.

 

Haha we get the same.
It’s ok don’t stress but I’m the guy who has to set back up and save the +/- .002 bore the hole breaks into?
All by the hr pissed at myself but it’s Friday and I just got more money

 

The cones are so we don’t fall in the holes

That’s what the other fiberglass post are for, where more post are going

 

Machine time may be free, but my time isn't. With you on that one.

@308savage prayers for Autumn

@Hunterdc1 how is little man and mom doing? How about you?

 

Lowe’s has let me down. They are worse than post office shipping

Praying for good outcome

 

Playing the powdercoat lottery today. Dropped the fenders off and said whatever color you’re running today is fine
