I get it, this is a home shop, but...

  • sandals
  • shorts
  • no face shield
  • no hearing protection
  • no gloves
  • improper ventilation
  • etc.

It takes one injury to change your entire life. It's not "waiting for optimal conditions". It's basic PPE.

If you think grinding down a weld is that dangerous then feel free to wear it yourself

You do see all those sparks flying, yes?

Those are metal particles. Flying into your face.

Quit being fucking stupid. Other people will see you doing this shit, too.

They're not flying into my face, they're flying out in a plane coming off the edge of the disc. Fuck off, skill issue 🖕 not saying anyone should do this
