the dangers of sanding

amanda1 · 01-13-2008, 11:49 AM

There is a reason I am not allowed near power tools. I was sanding my golf cart to be painted when suddenly I felt pain. My hair got caught and wrapped up in the motor. It's funny now but I still have a headache. Luckily my husband got most of it out. I got no sympathy LOL they were to busy laughing and taking pictures. Go ahead and laugh. It's only funny because I did not have to cut my hair but the sander is trashed.

BTDT - Had a nite job pumping gas. I was under the dash with a drill when It got my hair. Pulled the drill up tight to my forehead! My eyes were watering -and just then I heard the ding ding bell for a customer......

Wow bet that hurt Amanda, hope you tie your hair back the next time. I remember getting a drill a little close to my shirt one time, ripped my shirt right off and put a nice burn on my big belly.
