If you are going to teach a teen to sandblast...
Be careful where you stand! My 14-year old has a quick trigger finger. I thought I could hand him the nozzle and duck out of the tent before the action started. Not only did he get the nozzle triggered, he missed the part and got me instead! A fine example of poor instruction and poor safety precautions on my part. I piled all of the safety equipment on him and left none for myself. I must've left my common sense soaking in a jar on the nightstand.

Actually, it should be in the "Stupid Things Pinzgauer Owners Do" forum, except I would be the only member!texas pinzgauer wrote:Evan - shouldn't this be in the Pinzgauer - Health link?
So far, no infection or pain, just the difficulty of explaining to my son that it wasn't his fault. I think I got through to him when I asked, "Did you do anything I told you not to do?" and he answered, "No." It very really is an example of poor instruction and poor safety on my part. C'est la vie. Or, according to Babel Fish, "C' ist das Leben" in German, if such a concept exists in the linguistics of Deutschland.
I have also let him drive the 710. He does pretty well, especially considering his limited background with a manual shift. So far he has got it stuck in a ditch ($70.00 tow plus a broken winch line) and backed into a barbed wire fence (I have to say the Pinz stock mirrors are not good for learning to back up). All I know for sure is that his mounting (no pun intended) interest in girls is going to cost me a lot more in the long run...
For me, it is a good wake up call about what one should/should not do while taking morphine!
