As I told in a previous comment, lathes are incredibly dangerous machines.

Aquafresh toothpaste! Helps sooth the burn and helps prevent scarring.

Have you had an injury in the workplace that wasn't your fault...

Apply some lavender oil - it heals burns and other scars very well.

Awww, poor Grant=[ I bet that hurt like a mother trucker. It's going to make an awesome scar though.

Poor Grant! Aloe and a sad sympathic look would help it feel better.

Nice. It doesn't look that bad. Heck I did something worse last week. 1/16 diameter flux core V/U, Have a chunk of that drop down your leathers. It will change your vocabulary.
