THE do-it-yourself craze is leading to thousands of injuries from angle grinders. Almost seven Queenslanders a day are turning up at hospitals with injuries from the high-speed tool, used for cutting metal and other hard materials

Cy, you're now a statistic :(

It isnt as bad as Cyrus, i dont really care if it needs stiches cuz im not letting no doctor stick a needle near me.

Tip - Next time u drill into those blank plastic clip things in your dash use a vise. Holding it with your fingers doesnt quite work when the drill bit grabs.

jk lb :)

OK list of self inflicted injuries:

1. 3 years old, was seeing how high I could throw a brick up in the air and still catch it. Needless to say I missed, but the brick didnt. Broken collar bone

2. 3 years old, while toboganing down my street my foot snagged a drain. Broken ancle.

3. 5 years old, while ice skating and trying to break the under 5 ice speed record, hit a car. Broken ribs & left arm.

5. 10 years old, riding along beside the gutter with thongs on, got a bit close and my left foots toenails were whisked away in under a second.

5. 13 years old, while riding a motorbike, at night, with no lights, in the middle of a national forest, rode into a newly erected barb wire fence flat out in second. dislocated shoulder, broken arm, HEAPS of stictches and a cool helecopter ride.

6. 15 years old, while snowboarding at night on a closed run, while illegally tresspassing, took a wrong turn which lead to a big drop, ended up in a tree with a broken leg and minor cuts and abrasions.

7. 17 years old, while holding onto the side of a car, riding my bike, I got the speed wobbles around 70kph. Bike hit side of car and went under, left leg went with it. Also took out my left kneecap, which is now a mirror copy of my right kneecap and has a lovey Dow Corning brand name stamped into the back of it.

And they are just the major's, I would not have enough room to list the minors like the grinder incident.

Summary, yes I did have a deathwish and was very very stupid ;)

Hang on a sec, maybe should change that "did" to a "do" :)

I'm a clumsy ****er

I believe the proper term you are looking for is:

Stupendos Moronic Idiotic Klutz

No I just do things which other people think are that way, Ed's got the best sig:

..... only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go

    • For anyone interested, this is my old graph from 2021, but I've plotted the previous setup curve onto it with a black pen. old setup was: pon cams, oem itbs and plenum, HPI manifold, hks 2835 pro S .87ar rear, Turbosmart actuator, 3" turbo back no res. or cat., greddy spec M fmic, nismo 740cc inj, walbro in tank 460, splitfires, 4" intake pipe, Apexi pod, e85, eboost2, power Fc. I love that the new setup has much larger turbo spec with the HTA3076 1.01ar Ts rear, and literally everything is bigger, but far higher quality and result is it's FAR more responsive in paper.
    • This makes a lot of sense! I just had that realisation a few minutes ago and wrote it above haha. This is a good new discovery. "Sanding the side of the hill" perfect way to put it.   😂 😂 
    • This is probably what's happened to me. I'll put filler again on my repairs and use the long block and let you know how I go. Fingers crossed it's my last batch of filler lol. I can see that happening where my block dipped at certain points because it didn't cover all the high spots at the same time if that makes sense. I'm just trying to visualise the fact that with the large sanding block I will be sanding far away from the central dent area and whether that will cause issues or whether that's going to fether out my repairs better.
    • Thanks for all that info. I thought I heard that the size of the block should be the same size as the repair or is that wrong? Though I do have some long blocks which I can use for the dents in the middle of the panel. The issue is with the ones at the edge of the door and near the grooves.
