The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

[dhal22]

Many years ago I was flying a trainer during a hurricane (Andrew?) and I was able to slow it to a complete stop in the wind. It was amazingly fun. After a couple of tanks of fuel I started letting the plane drift backwards in the wind. It was bizarre, almost surreal watching the plane fly backwards.

I was landing at zero ground speed.

I was cleaning up some 3DPrinted parts last night and the #11 broke while cutting towards me. . . Luckily most of the blade broke off and I only stabbed the meaty spot on my thumb with a tiny remnant of the blade. I immediately cursed at it... thinking I had created a ticket to the hospital... only to learn how lucky I was! Just a kids Band-Aid for me!
