Law of the Workshop: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.
Years ago I rebuild irrigation engines in the Texas panhandle. After getting frustrated on a job in a field I threw my ½” combo wrench out into the field. Of course, I had to walk out into the field to retrieve my wrench.
A couple of months later things got so bad that I threw my 3/8 ratchet with a socket and 6” extension up against the shop wall. It was a metal building with metal siding and fiberglass insulation secured by chicken wire on the inside. The ratchet handle, extension, and socket lodged in the chicken wire about 15’ up. I had to get a ladder to get them down.
I have never thrown a wrench since then, no matter how therapeutic it can be.

Hello Amy -- glad to have you staying involved. Your sentence is to bring one of your famous lemon meringue pies to the next rally you attend. I don't know what the heck I'm talking about...

I did much worse. I smacked my thumb with a hammer for the 6th time, and, cursing, threw the 20 ounce hammer away from me. It bounced off the concrete floor, and through a large plate glass window. $800 later, I no longer throw tools either.

My friend hit a tire hard with a hammer that was laying on the floor when he had cut his thumb on the fenderwell lip somehow.
Yes, several stitches to his forehead (and a couple in his thumb) later he resolved to get control of his anger.
Watching the whole thing happen I don't think I have ever laughed so had in my life while feeling hugely guilty - and racing him to the hospital emergency with blood flowing out of his forehead and thumb. Walking him into emerg he's bleeding and not very happy and the two of us with him are crying we are laughing so hard. When the nurses heard what had happened - slightly exagerated in the telling of course, they too were laughing pretty hard.
Needless to say he was not impressed.

Amy (63Airstream) should be squared away. We kept her preserved at a 2006 AIR Forums # & join date. As well as combined her post count and other attributes.
