Ouch! It's nice to work with your kid, but the last thing you want is for them to get hurt.

 

[petes83usa]

Very sorry to hear the bad news but glad he is ok.....someday you too will laugh about it...ups and downs of life make us very close with our loved ones.....:shakehands:

 

[belairrudy]

Glad he's okay Bigdave. I've had my share of stiches and such. You learn your lessons as you go. Next time he will know how to position himself for such an accident. I've learned not to pull towards but to push away.

SORRY TO HERE BUT **** NEVER FORGET THE TIME HE SPENT WITH YOU HE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LITTLE FUN REMINDER,LOL GLAD HE OK

 

[bigdave R.I.P.]

Yeah we were laughing already. He's taking auto tech classes right now at grcc and I said the teachers are going have fun with this.
He's been a great help since I can't do much yet with any heavy worrk. He just went down to the garage today to get some things done so we can get the body back on the frame this week. always enjoy the time working on cars with him:tu

Glad you both are ok as a dad we feel worse when something happens to one of our children. Nothing like time spent with you children enjoy your time.

Sorry to hear this

Ill bet next time hes more careful , and make sure the wrench doesnt come off :tu

 

[Shua57]

Hope he is okay but I had to chuckle. I recall when I hit myself in the face with a crowbar trying to relieve the tension pulley on my car. Then there was the time the hammer fell of the ladder and smacked my in the head, that cost me 6 staples. I've set myself on fire so many times it isn't funny. I know I'm going to get hurt, the problem is that I don't know when it is going to happen. It's the joy of working on cars.

Yeah, Mike doesn't slow down much. Family had a good laugh when it was all over. He said one more scar by that area and he has a crecent shape.

I think we have all put blood, sweat and tears (Litoraly) on our tri 5sarty0031:

Yep been there, even though I am real careful, mind you my old Landrovers are worse - everything on them is rusted and covered in mud and oil, the only thing they respond to is a big hammer or a grinder.

 

[carls 56]

good to hear he is o.k.. :five:

 

[Teamchevy]

Glad to hear Mike's OK Dave! :tu

Sorry to hear it.

I did the exact same thing in 1982. Got 11 stitches in the right eyebrow.

20 years almost to the day later I walked in to a steel support at work. Same eyebrow but this time only 9 stitches. I'm working my way down to zero. So another 40 years or so I should be there.
