Lesson learned this weekend:


  • Using a cutoff wheel makes short work of old spring perches.
  • In working with metal, everything is heavy.
  • Angle grinders spin very fast.
  • 24 grit grinding wheels do pretty good to take a lot of old welds back down to flush
  • However, they also tend to wreak havoc on your knuckles if you get your knuckles too close to items 3 & 4


Think I missed all the important parts of my knuckle (tendons, bone, etc..). So here's to hoping for no infections and only a scar to remember this incident by. blush
