Be careful out in the garage! I ran a drill through my face!
Yeah you read it right, I needed some excitement and figured I would run a 1/4" drill into my face breaking my sinus cavity.
And all for a Fiat 500e. I was drilling out the rivets that hold the bumper bracket to the rear of the body pushing up to get this vertical rivet and it was spinning so I was applying a lot of pressure and rivet head came off with the drill slipping towards me and with all the pressure I was applying I couldn't stop it before it ran into my face. My face was NUMB big time, it felt like my nose was ripped off! The first thing I realized was I could see, that was a good feeling, but I was bleeding big time so I was still in a panic mode. Luckily I got a lot of help from the guys and was driven to the ER. Oh yeah, great lesson learned. With all the ways I have injured myself you would think I would learn. All joking aside guys, protect yourselves! Brian
