What's on your bench today?

[GardenKit]

It hurt just after but kept going, the pain subsided after a while, better than when I stuck a screw in my knuckle - wife asked me if I felt faint and bang.....collapsed, had felt fine before she asked:001_rolleyes:

 

By the way - no part yet but reckon it will be tomorrow - PM me the cost as I don't want to forget!

Weird, it went 1st class on Thursday. Keep me informed.

Tonight I can confirm that having a 5mm drill snap and having the turning end embed itself 1cm in to your thumb damn well hurts - it reminded me of stuffing butter under the skin of a turkey - not nice:thumbdown:

 

It looks better than it was:blushing:

 

Bugger!....You won't do it again mind.

I don't recommend doing that spud, you won't get much gains from doing a thumb mod

I can sympathise on the drilled digit. I was riveting some bits on an old Mini and put a 1/8" drill completely through my left little finger. I pulled it out still spinning and it brought the filling with it. I didn't faint but my wife said I was a funny colour and I could see spots before my eyes and had to sit down on the floor. My wife took me to hospital and a kind nurse (not really) looked at it then snipped the hanging stuff off with a pair of scissors. I almost p!&&ed my pants there are a lot of nerves in fingers. I was given the obligatory tetanus jab so I went in with a finger injury and came out with a limp. The doctor who looked at it said I was lucky as it went between the tendon and the bone, I thought lucky would have been if I hadn't done it at all. Keep it clean and well padded till it heals there's only a tiny white mark now where mine was. You could put "what's on your bench today, there's blood on mine".

Ok. Here is my brain teaser.

 

At the lifeboat station I was overhauling our single pot diesel salvage pump. A pump used to rescue a vessel taking on water. It pumps out quick.

 

So the job was to strip it down check the bore for wear, re seal the valves. Etc etc.

 

So after cleaning checking, painting and made sure it worked it was left on the bench ready to replace the spare on the boat. So left it there for the afternoon while waiting for some help to get it back and swapped over.

 

After a couple of hours went into workshop and diesel was all over the pump from the fuel tank. So check and cleaned it all. Looked like it was coming from the tank outlet but it was also around the fuel cap........

 

It really took me a while of cleaning and checking.

 

We had a shout yesterday and the workshop is right next to the kit room. We have heaters in there and de hums.... Can anyone click like I did after some swearing at the pump???
