Rivet Finger

Lee is the welder in the family. He learned a lot about it in his agriculture class in school, but loves working with his hands. He works for a company called Tacor. They mend and take care of aircraft parts. He was working on a project around the first part of March with pop rivets. He was trying to push a rivet through a hole that wouldn't go and it slipped off and went into his finger. We met him at the ER and they did x-rays. He didn't hit anything important and the doctor numbed it up and distracted him and pulled it out. Lee wanted the guys at work to grab a hold of it with pliers while he was still in shock, but no one would do it. The next day they made him wear a hard hat made out of Styrofoam and carry a Little Tykes hammer around. The corn dogs in a pot with Mac & Cheese is the flower arrangement they gave him the next day at work. I will post a picture of his smoker that he did as a project for his senior year, this evening. It turned out really nice. He is doing some side jobs away from work and is currently working on a deer blind and a massive sanding table.
