SpudFiles

today while messing with my sparkstrip, my table caught fire and lit a quart of pvc primer on fire and in my panic and confusion I knocked the can over igniting my table and spreading all over my garage, i attempted to get out abd grab the hose but the door was "sucked" close and I couldn't get out. I managed to get out after forcing the door open, I now have second degree burns all over my hands and most of my tools and electronics are shit now.

I am quitting this hobby for a couple months and am leaving my hybrid finished (today) to go untested.

Well its been fun but i somehow i manage to fuck things up

Wow that sucks, bet that was scary sorry to hear that happened. Don't let it discarage you though cause we need you and your cannons here. Hope you come back soon.

dude i wouldnt quit if i burned my house down and lost a leg .serious.Im only new and i love this stuff.But u said only for a few moths so thats cool.

Still going to the meet? [2 weeks]

that stinks.....

why does this have to happen to the good people?

I am truly sorry to hear that, I hope your wounds heal quickly. -Lp

First brian now you. why are we loosing some of the best?

Perhaps it is a government scheme to bring this site down, maybe brian and frankrede are actually dead in an oil drum somewhere and those are CIA agents typing the farewell posts.
Look out senior members!!! You may be next!!

I'm feeling for you on that one. I didn't have skin on my left hand from spilling a large volume of hot glue on it. Seriously, when you burn your hands you can't do a single thing with them guys. Even if he wanted to work on spudguns, I have a feeling he can't because he has a giant gauze wad on his hand. I could hardly do anything with my left hand for about the last three weeks. I imagine burning both his hands, frankrede is going to have real "fun" this month.

Well thanks for your guys concern,pimp,maybe i will be able to go to thre meet, but im no sure on the condition of my guns, but maybe i'll make an ignition and get the hybrid goin for nthe meet.

sorry abouty keeping my message brief and choppy, its hard to type with only my left handp----im right handed

Do you quit driving forever after you have an accident? NO!

This is just a chance to get some new tools and take a rest, you shall rebound!

Sorry about the accident- that is very discouraging.
Best of luck in your recovery process, Frankrede. Take some time to settle your nerves and heal your wounds. We'll see you in a few ... days, weeks, months... whatever it takes to get you back on your feet.

My possible goodbye is nothing compared to this, guys!

Sorry to hear this happened to you.I quit blackpowder because of something similar..
Hope you heal up fast.

omfg thats an omen of some kind..srry to hear that and i hope u heal faster...

hard lesson learned to keep a fire exttiguisher near ur workbench i guess....live and learn...

I think the lesson actually is "don't mix sparks and lots of flammable stuff"

Nasty accident there, good thing you managed to get out.

Good luck with your recovery and keep the primer the other side of the garage next time.
