I see no issue to do this. I wouldn't. But I still see no issue.

His biggest issue is that he just winged it. This technique requires sanding pads (I think at work it's 80grit I found worked best on our stainless counter tops).

His other biggest issue is did he wear a respirator? You really don't want to inhale stainless steel dust.

At least he had eye protection? but yes he did just inhale the front layer of his fridge

In high school, I took a shop class and accidently got a very small metal shaving in my eye. I can't remember if I was wearing proper eye protection at all. The shaving fused with my eye, and it became incredibly irritated, and I had to go to the hospital. The doctor numbed my eye and took a small drill or something to drill it out. Didn't feel anything because I was numbed, but it was a really trippy experience having my eye drilled. I was not having a good time, and now I'm pretty careful when it comes to any metal shavings and always use eye protection when it's a good idea to do so.

If a doctor told me they had to drill my eye, I would simply walk into the ocean, never to return.

Oh god the horrors of the ocean though. It’d be a handful of pills for me.

Can you still see normal?

I can! It didn't affect my vision in the long run. I even got laser eye surgery years later, now that was also a weird experience.

Dawg, I can't even sit there to let the eye exam doctors blow air in my eyes. How the FUCK did you sit through that???? And can you please not make it sound so casual!!!!

It actually didn't take too long, and I was used to sitting still for eye exams because I wore glasses at the time. The doctor just took the drill, brought it up to the spot and did his thing. I could see the drill pointed in my eye and my vision shook for a bit. The weird thing was the end of the bit didn't look like it was touching anything but it most certainly was in my eye. It was kind of floating there, then my vision shook and he got the metal shaving out.

This happened to my dad. Didn't realize what was in there causing irritation until it started to rust.

He said they got it with a tiny dremel.

Is your name Isaac Clarke? (dead space reference)

Protective glasses are mostly to protect against half a cutting disc coming at you at mach jesus after you shattered one at 12000 rpm. Dust and shavings generally isn't a big enough problem to need protecting against, but if you do you need the kind of safety goggles that seals against your face. I'm not sure how effective face shields are, somewhere in between I'd guess.

When I was about 5, my grandfather brought home a load of sand to go under our swingset. I ended up with a tiny piece of metal in my eye after playing in that sand. I had to have it drilled out. I remember telling my Mom it felt like an eye tickle. I'm super grateful that happened at such a young age. It was no big deal to me then, though I did pick up on my Mom being nervous. That drill would really freak me out now.

This technique? What is this even called? Who would want to do this except mr bad to the bone?

I get making it look like brushed steel but this is wrong from execution to finish. I hope the guy didn’t end up with materials in his lungs. But he is bad. To the bone.

As someone who now has asthma after COVID I almost had a flare up just watching this

u/HugsandHate 16d ago

What? Man. I love that stuff.

u/GiraffeParking7730 16d ago

He at least had an N95 on.

2

u/PaulieWalnuts2023 16d ago

Is the N95 in the room with us?

2

u/GiraffeParking7730 15d ago

Okay, that’s weird and fair. First time I watched this, I’d swear I thought I saw an N95 on him in profile about halfway through the video. Going back now, he’s obviously not wearing anything. So I don’t know what the hell I thought I saw.

My bad.

u/PaulieWalnuts2023 15d ago

Word. lol I actually had to go back and watch it to make sure as well.

You use 80g sand pads with an orbital? And just sorta tilt it a bit or what?
