Thanks Elden,
         "Been there - done that"
         Years ago when I was even more stupid than I am now I had a 
battery on charge in my workshop. Now this was a clean workshop - for 
making signs - so I never welded, used an angle grinder or spraypainted in 
there.
         Just once I was too lazy to follow my own rules and had a tiny bit 
of steel to grind so thought "What the Heck, I'll just do it here in the 
woodwork vice". Of course the battery was on charge about 2 paces away and 
the grinding sparks ignited it.
         The worst part was cleaning up and changing my shorts. Then I also 
had to clean the workshop where everything was covered in battery acid.


Keep the revs up (or down)
