minus-squareBrujones@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·17 hours agoI was using the forks as a workbench to cut a piece of 1/2" steel with an acetylene torch. I thought I had enough overhang to make it work. Those forks ended up about 1.5" shorter after I finished my cut.
minus-squaregolden_zealot@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·16 hours agoSorry, but BOTH forks!? How did you not notice the first one falling off?
minus-squareBrujones@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·13 hours agoHaha, that’s a good call. I certainly should have. I was pretty new with the torch so I suppose I was focused on the task at hand. And it was just the tip™️. The last inch or 2 on the fork of a small lift won’t make a lot of noise compared to the torch.
