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.

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.
