Hey Stew, You mean to tell me you didn't set those papers on fire under the firebrick with that torch? :scratch: By accident of course. Bernd |

What it is Stew, Bernd is so hard, he just holds the parts in his fingers while he takes them up to cherry red. :lol: |

There was no fire emergency this time, but I have been known to set fire to things, thats why I keep flamable chemicals in another shed. Talking about holding hot things when I was an apprentice we had a guy called Harry Shelly working in the hardening shop he's probably long gone now. Harry had served his time as a black smith and his hands were as horn hard, and he just knew how to hold things without getting burnt, he had a trick of holding a hot die and handing it to an unsuspecting apprentice, the poor lad would drop the die right sharp Harry would laugh and say what's up lad is it too heavy for you, and yes he did catch me out with that one. :D Ho happy days Stew |

I promise not to drag too far off topic. last year at work I saw something laying on the floor so I walked up to it and it was a blue colored bolt. (I am an industrial mechanic) So I natrually picked it up to see where it could have came from, when I did it slid between my fingers like it was hot butter. :doh: I assume a forklift had been dragging it for a while and I now know why it was blue. :smart: I couldnt use a few fingers for a few days. :bang: At the time I wished I had titanium fingers -B- |
