That’s one pretty fence!
I’m going to ruin your enjoyment. Since I had my finger fusion I’m dropping everything. I dropped the grinder, it nipped my finger. Most of the grinding is done so hopefully this won’t happen again. These 10,000 hand held grinders can gut you. I heal slowly now a days. My cell division is slowing down. Nuts.This is a great thread. What i like about this forum is the pics of welding/cutting/bending/hammering aren't followed by loads of the usual cr@p you see posted on other forums like...
I hope you have a good dentist
Post a pic of your injuries
Why not just buy a bike with wider tyres?
....and so on.

That’s gotta be worse than I can imagine. I bet it will bother you more and more as you age.When i was a teen i was out training on my roadbike when i found out just how abrasive fast moving 700C tyres can be. I was changing gear with the downtube shifter when i went through a big hole in the road.
My hand slid off and fingers went into the spokes and in a flash my index finger was wedged between the bottom of the fork crown and the tyre.
It was all a bit sudden and reactions blunted so quite a bit of slowing down was done with the finger acting as a brake. Once i had stopped i then had to roll the bike back to get my finger out of its jam. I think you can imagine what it was like from the nail to the middle of the finger. The latter part was the worst affected and is still scarred some 40 odd years later.
I rode home and then fainted on the sofa with mum barely keeping her lunch down. Dad came home from work and took me to hospital. It took a very long time to mend and was a b@stard to live with during that time.
Can you attach the hose to the exhaust end? Maybe you could get more heat if you could direct the airflow at the hotspot better.That didn‘t put out enough air. I think it would work a lot better with a good blower.
