I just try not to die and if I can stop the bleeding then it's good to go.

Shovel won, toe lost. I was on blood thinners at the time and couldn't get the blood to stop. Went to the ER to get stitches, but they got the bleeding to stop and just butterflied it.

Not dying is a good thing.

Here’s my new proposed prosthetic

I like to miss the bone and take out tendons. Angle grinder won this battle.

Goddamnit I'm eating breakfast.

I've had my fair share of major injuries. Losing a limb isn't high on my list.

You might want to clean that. Maybe a little Neosporin.

Did you do that cutting a zip tie.

Table saw?

or a circular saw with the guard off.

Dude I work for lost 3 fingers in a disagreement between him and a table saw. They reattached 2 of them and one is MIA in a building somewhere.

Table saw?

Dewalt 14” Multicutter Metal Chop Saw
I can attest to the fact it can cut off a finger 4x faster than a regular chop saw.

My wife and my two daughters helped me find my finger in the garage.

Too mangled to reattach.

safety squints ftw?

safety squints ftw?

Watched the same guy use a grinder to cut an aluminum sliding door frame fin off with his safety squints. Sparks and bits of metal going everywhere, especially toward his face. I just shook my head and watched.

Spent Sunday cleaning and reorganizing the garage in order to get the plasma table stuff in a semi permanent spot. Made a dedicated shelf for the plasma cutter to sit on to have all the air and cables setup in a semi-permanent fashion while still being easy to disconnect and move if I need to bring it out of the garage for some reason. Added an air filter/dryer to the compressor. Still need to find a good spot for the computer to be mounted and not get too beat up next to the plasma table. Also added casters to the press like @malburg114 recommended. So much easier to move around. I’ll be adding everything that comes into the garage to casters now.

Garage was a disaster with all kinds of shit everywhere and no workspace. Much better now. Crazy how fast things get out of hand in there.

So far I've had good luck with GearWrench tools in the past. I currently don't own any ratcheting wrenches, let alone flex head ratcheting wrenches. Anyone have either of these or have any recommendations as to which way to go?
Regular flex head or locking flex head?
Locking only goes from 8mm to 19mm whereas the regular goes from 8mm to 25mm which would be pretty nice.

Do you need a locking one that big? Think of the angles you usually wrench at

Gearwrench makes nice stuff. Id get the locking. I cant see myself using that type of wrench on something larger than 17mm. The big bolts are usually not that hard to get too. Guess it depends on what you work on though.
