Re: 1972 Jimmy Resurrection

I wont even touch the 7" grinder anymore. The nearest I can figure is the piece sheet metal I was cutting off wrapped around the arbor and thrashed my hand before grenading the disc. I'm super cautious even with my 5" grinder now as it makes me nervous. If you google images for grinder injuries you may never use it again. The pictures of my hand when it happened are gruesome. It's been a long recovery and not something I want to go through again.

Yours is much worse. Little tasks you take for granted become a challenge, like zipping your damn pants. I feel for you, hope it heals quick. I need to put the guard back on my grinder...
