I have to own up to wondering why my chain saw was not cutting very well the other day with its newly sharpened chain, when I put the chain back on the right way round the saw cut just like a real one..................
Chris. :facepalm:

Chainsaw story - a neighbour brought one by my workshop, he bought it at a yard sale after seeing it run. When he went to use it, he couldn't start it. :thinking: I get out my Sherlock Holmes pipe and magnifying glass and begin a high level inspection. Spark, yep. Compression, yep. Fuel - oopsy. :facepalm:
He had filled the gas tank with chain oil and the chain oil tank with 2 stroke gas / oil mix. Was a heck of a job to get all that sticky red goop out of the fuel system. I didn't do the Nicholas Cage style flaming chain stunt though, I did the boring approach and put oil back in the chain oil tank.
After gentle chastisement re the error of his ways :slap: he's been getting along great with it and still has both legs. (for now) :o :Lol:

One other event that comes to mind was a dumb one I did working on an old Suzuki Sidekick car we had. I was patching rust holes with sheetmetal, pop rivets and roofing tar (automotive breakfast of champions in road salt zones). There I was, drilling up through the inner fender tub, seemed to be taking a while.....then battery acid started pouring down the drill bit! :facepalm: Yep, I hit a gusher, drilled right into the bottom of the battery! Still can't believe I did that! (and the good wife reminds me about it whenever I have a drill in my hand!) :Lol:

Note to self: stay away from anyone on this forum.... :Lol: (this says the guy who had a wing cutter come loose in the router at 30K RPM and bounce off the table, and my chest) :shrug:
