So many of those things are true.

I have had vice grips and pliers pinch my skin into red blood blisters plenty of times. I have also hit myself in the forehead with vice grips and almost knocked myself out while pulling on a stubborn exhaust nut with both hands and all my strength.....who would have thought the muffler clamp would have broken under the force!

I have lost flesh and meat using wire wheels!

I have thrown shiny parts onto the floor and across the room when the buffing wheel caught an edge.

I have burnt myself repeatedly while picking up freshly welded parts. (Slow Learner).

I have stabbed and cut myself with boxcutters.

I don't know how many times I have been under a car and bumped my face on something - which causes me to jerk back and hit my head on the floor....which causes me to pull forward and hit my face on the bottom of the car....which causes me to jerk back and hit my head on the floor (repeat oscillation several times).

I have also had to work on cars/trucks in gravel driveways, and I end up with a back that looks like I have pink and purple Leopard spots!

I just learned a new one a couple hours ago.

I was working at my lathe while it was raining......and I was doing a pretty heavy cut. A strip of metal flew off and landed on my shirt and stuck to my chest - so I reached down and plucked it off.

Dang.....those are HOT! :-[

Good for you if you actually learned it.
Like making blood blisters with pliers, sometimes we have to
Learn
something a few times, before we REALLY know...

I got a HF lathe, 25% discount :D

works well enough, I don't expect to turn out precision stuff with it.
but it hasn't broken yet either.
