    I get it, this is a home shop, but…

    • sandals
    • shorts
    • no face shield
    • no hearing protection
    • no gloves
    • improper ventilation
    • etc.

      Hey, it’s work and it needs to get done. All I think of when I read these comments is that you’re all giant pussies that wait for optimal conditions.

        First, slow down. I’m not trying to throw stones. In a pinch, I’ve done my fair share of sketchy shit. Instead, I’m just trying to provide food for thought.

        Second, I can appreciate someone sharing their cool project; however, your practices are dangerous and set a poor example for the community.

            Yeh this is true and I was just trying to add a bit of humour as I thought OP was joking around a bit. However on returning to this thread I realise OP is just a massive cunt looking for a fight.

            I’m not gonna delete my post “like a fucken pussy” but yeh, it no longer has the jokey vibe I intended when looking around at the rest of the thread and the intentionally belligerent responses from OP.

            Apologies everyone!

    It takes one injury to change your entire life. It’s not “waiting for optimal conditions”. It’s basic PPE.

        You do see all those sparks flying, yes?

        Those are metal particles. Flying into your face.

        Quit being fucking stupid. Other people will see you doing this shit, too.

          They’re not flying into my face, they’re flying out in a plane coming off the edge of the disc. Fuck off, skill issue 🖕 not saying anyone should do this

      I never said I was an enthusiast, I take pride in the marks I get from doing work. I have been burned a lot ngl from cars, working at jiffy lube sucked ass.

        You can have pride in that and still attempt to do things somewhat safely so you don’t destroy your body in the process.

        I was once in your shoes. You don’t want to be 40 with the body of a 60 year old, trust me. The aches and pain don’t get better, and wounds don’t heal as fast as you get older. Earlier this year, I had a minor cut take almost a month to heal up.

        This community is labeled for enthusiasts. If you not one, why you here?

            Man that’s not the point.

            You posted yourself working on a car. That’s great. Someone gave you some advice for working safer and being a better example for the community - but you threw a fit and insulted them. You subsequently insulted the community.

            Like if you had just laughed it off like “yeah I know I’ll do better next time” or something instead of being all butthurt and lashing out, maybe the community would have reacted better?

              “yeah I know I’ll do better next time”? Really? I never asked for advice; I’ll tell off whoever I’d like. I do what I want on my own time with whatever safety precautions I like buddy.

                You missed the point. You could have literally typed those words, continued to do whatever you wanted to do in whatever safety conditions you choose and nobody would have remembered you.

                Instead, you chose to throw a tantrum and make yourself memorable. Alternatively, you could have not posted and continued to do whatever you’d like and nobody would comment because nobody would know.

                  I’m not typing these words to be remembered, I’m just aggravated that uneducated nuisances decided to try and give me tips on how to operate in my free time. I’m completely confident in my abilities and if I die because of that, hell yeah. Next time I won’t post in this ass community because it’s just a bunch of individuals who don’t do anything but post pics and articles about cars.
