BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 You can actually see it got quite a ways up in his cheek. He is very lucky it didn't catch him in the neck. I have a scar on my chest from a 9" angle grinder that grabbed while cutting off pipe plug tops. You have absolutely no time to react fast enough to stop it.

brian.pierson Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Good video. Uri Hofi was in my shop a few years ago and made an extra long shanked corkscrew. One of his teachers, Alfred Habermann, used to do the same thing for demos. As I recall, Hofi made the entire worm on the anvil with only hammer and heat. He didn't use any sort of mandrel. I haven't tried it. Frank, He did a photo demo showing the corkscrew on here. I believe this is what you were shown. Brian Pierson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qhforge Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah I learned the hard way with grinders too. I was cutting grooves into a rack holder i was making for work and the thing grabbed, launched, hit my face shield and put a nice groove in that, hit my chest, and tore through coveralls, shirt, and skin. Burned for 3 days and itched for a week. And mine still had the cover on it, just came back on me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
