Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Oow, brings back memories! Thirty years ago I had one almost identical to that one. Story: Friend who was sharing the shop with me at the time was using it to drill hundreds of hole. He pulled up a stool and set to work. Well he got lazy and started leaning his head against the front. He had quite long hair at the time and it became wrapped in the quill! Slammed his head up and yanked out a huge patch of hair! When I came in the next morning it looked like a rat laying on the floor! Jim came in later sporting a fresh crew-cut! No scalp, pulled every one out by the root. Jim later told me that those roots go all the way down to your chin! Ha! Felt like it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 OUCH!!! I knew an old boy who put a Milwaukee Hole-Hawg behind his head to get better leverage while drilling into a wall and did the same thing. Popped his pony-tail clean off (although he lost some scalp...it did more than just peel the hair). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 OUCH! Well that'll learn them there long haired hippie types to keep their hair short. Just kidding but I had friends with really long hair and beards get them pull out and burned off too. I keep my beard and hair short for a reason and that ain't conservatism either. So none of you are going to run out and buy this little gem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
