I thought the laser would have been knocked out of line, but it was fine. My cut was screwed up though. |

What a dumbass I am. It's no wonder I had two minor but equally bloody shop class accidents in jr highschool. One required stitches. Me and power tools, really don't mix well. |

I was cutting an 1/8" peice of plexi for the CP. I was pretty excited since the project was coming to a close. Wasn't even thinking about securing the plexi down. Got the drill to full speed and when it hit the plexi - the plexi spun around and hit my hand. I seriously thought I cut something off. Wouldn't that be some sh!t? Cut off your gaming hand trying to build a arcade machine? |
