Default This goes under why you don’t do this

Don’t think I’ve posted this before, though I think I have told some of you.

The picture below shows what happens when you use a wire brush in an air grinder. The little wire was fired in to my finger with out even being felt until several hours later when the finger started to swell. Three trips to the emergency room that weekend to have them shot antibiotics in my tail followed once the infection was killed off by surgery to remove the wire from the finger.

Worked out the speed that the wire could have been traveling something near 350 feet per sec.

Obviously I should have known better.
