Title: Watch your feet!!!
Post by: Powder Keg on July 01, 2012, 08:54:50 PM

Today I was welding. I had a length of I beam I was using as a straight edge to pull some sheet metal straight before I welded it. Everything went good. The part came out pretty good. It was a big piece and a little awkward. When I lifted it up it hooked the I Beam and knocked it off the saw horses. Darn thing landed right on my toes.

I'll probably live

 Hi Powder Keg Tried that on two separate occasions I have the greatest sympathy with you. Now safety boots is the footwear to use in the workshop. Hope you heal quickly.
