Title: How often do you swear in the shop?
Post by: R.E.Co. on November 27, 2019, 06:49:03 PM: Ok so this is an amusing question but I don't think I have ever been in the shop without swearing once. Between my knuckles getting hit with a hammer, the welder burning thorough my clothes or slipping with a wrench and your hand wacks you in the forehead. Who he actually maintains a cool head when working on your track?

The half track has definitely led to more pain and many more "colorful metaphors"
than restoring my M38A1 Jeep.
Glad my shop isn't near any neighbors!!!!

The one that got hurt is cussing and throwing things and the other will just holler out ONE! And that continues throughout the work session increasing the count with each injury. The count restarts the next time we are out there. I think the highest it's ever gotten is seven or eight.

Post by: big44maghunter on December 11, 2019, 04:09:35 PM: Part of my documentation of my build has been to take a picture of every wound I get while completing this thing! I had quite a few but then drove over my phone with my tractor while working on the halftrack! Good thing I work alone for the most part, I hope the neighbors can't hear me. I Guess I have plenty left to do so I'm sure I can start over with the injury pictures.

More halftracks than some.
Less halftracks than others.
