for what it's worth

Post by GoingCustom »

Tip - where proper protective gear... or you'll end up hearing "chicks dig scars" a lot more than you did before :lol:

I imagine I'm not the only one who has gotten complacent in the garage and I've paid for it pretty bad on a couple of occasions, but I've been extremely lucky on missing vital stuff on the face. Minus the minor abrasions, cuts, burns that are associated with working with metal, please remember to pay attention to what you're doing, know your limits on being tired vs saying you can finish tomorrow because you DO NEED sleep to function properly.
