You have got to be one hell of a date.

Your husband has to be an awesome kind of guy to try to keep up.

Amazing that happened to be caught on film.

 

[Mellow]

That's why I never go out on those overhangs for the cool picture.

[pantheraba]

Wonderful. Great setup, got some great shots. The temperatures were dreadful.

Exploding an angle grinder disk. Shocking !

 

[BlackSmith]

That brought back some bad memories.

 

[gf beranek]

I run angle grinders a lot at Van Peer Boat Works. Rule was to tap the disks ever slightly to listen for cracks, before mounting and turning on. Over the years, using the tap method, I actually found a couple of disks with cracks, and tossed them. Never had an explosion. Brutal.

Wire wheels were another thing. I hate them.

 

[Tree09]

The only reason those are exploding like that is because they are spinning them way too fast for their rating. Grinding wheels are one of those things that going cheap isn't a good idea. On pipeline we would even go so far as using a file to chip the outside of the 1/8" wheels if they started to glaze (norton brand, very high quality), i even started carrying a wheel dresser because i wanted that thing to straight up shred steel. If one would get stuck on you would lock the arbor, then bash it into a wood skid to loosen it. I've seen lots of the cut off wheels explode, if you torque on them at all in the cut they blow up. The big thing is to use faceshields, throw sparks towards you (yes that's right, so if it grabs it goes away from you), and get your head and body out of the line of fire as much as possible. With wire wheels, don't bear down too much unless you are trying to smear with it, the high rpms and the razor sharp tips are what does the cleaning, and always keep your face out of the line of fire. When they start throwing a bunch of wires, get a new one, being cheap is how you get ate up.

If you like Seinfeld, here’s some clips intercut with the movies they reference.
I really enjoyed this, some I knew, some I didn’t.

 

[pantheraba]

Brilliant! Awesome how talented they were. Lots of laughs then and now. Great share.

Never saw the show, no TV here by choice...but I do get some of the pop culture reference.

Frankly, it is generally so dumb that I am happy to confirm my "no TV" stance .

Not judging others, carry on .

 

[Mick!]

@Burnham So what?
It’s a bit like those people who are vegan or don’t drink alcohol but feel the need to tell everyone unprompted.

 

[Burnham]

You are right, Mick. So what.

 

[cory]

 

[gf beranek]

This could get good.

 

[pantheraba]

I hope no scotch or gin or wine gets thrown in...or maybe I do...can't decide.

 

[Burnham]

Nah...you guys are off the mark.

I agreed with Mick, and what I posted deserved a "so what".

 

[Nutball]

The funny thing to me was his post sounded just like yours, like it was no better than what you did, though I agree with what you posted.
