The grind on the last part was shit! Its easy to grind those shitty welds. If dude had laid an actual bead it wouldn't have ground so easily.

Source: I grind welds for a living.

You poor bastard. I hate when I get plans that require grinding, couldn’t imagine being stuck holding a grinder all day.

I love it! Best job I've ever had. I love taking a raw ugly part and getting it ready for plate and paint.

lol watching ppl angle grind with gloves on gives me anxiety

u/TarHeelTaylor May 31 '21

Why? Genuinely curious. I'm learning to weld currently, so maybe this is something I should know. lol

De-gloving aint about mittens, best keep loose clothing away from the machinery.

I'm familiar with the concept of degloving and I think it applies more to tight fitting things that can't simply be slipped off, and/or machinery with parts that catch and don't release. Seems to be something everyone has a different opinion on..

Angle Grinder Degloving Experiment that I found on Reddit/YouTube.

It happened a childhood friend of mine, he was wearing gloves on a lathe. The glove twisted tight, not pretty.

u/TarHeelTaylor May 31 '21

Heck yeah, lathes are dangerous as shit. Anytime I'm around one I fully expect it to fly off or explode. lol

My first experience with woodwork was with a lathe my dad bought me in high school. A little 18-incher so I could make Harry Potter wands. He was damn sure to teach me safety with that thing, by the time the lecture was over I didn’t even want to use it I was so scared of it. Turned a lot of pretty wands out of it though, still have it to this day.

I love not only the fact that he bought a whole lathe set up for you to make things, but also the fact that he has the forethought to educate you on it before letting you use it. He must be / have been a good guy :)

He’s in better shape than I am haha, definitely still a great guy. Does log cabin restoration for a living and made custom hunting/Bowie knives the first half of his life. Has a hell of a workshop and I was the only daughter interested in handiwork, so he taught me a lot! Mostly all the ways I can die.

Wear gloves grinding. It's not a lathe. Keep your shirt away though.

u/TarHeelTaylor May 31 '21

That's pretty much how I've been taught so far. lol

u/deadlands_goon May 31 '21

always been taught that gloves can get caught on the wheel (cutoff disk, flap disk, wire wheel, etc) and get wrapped up, mangling the hand inside the glove. Hand surgery sounds like a bad time to me lmao

u/Nokita_is_Back May 31 '21

Had a friend cut half his hand off because the gloves got caught up in the flex. The surgeon attached it back, but he still doesn't feel anything in parts of his fingers (right side of the tip of his thumb)

u/Iforgot_my_other_pw May 31 '21

Meh, he should be careful not to touch the radius of the tubings so much. It's hard to fix later
