BTDT, maybe 65 years ago. Wound on a quaker oatmeal box IIRC, seems like I recall getting a 3" spark that burned a hole in my hand at least as bad as getting too close to the cap on a 1b3 tube back in tin tube tv days. Took about a month to heal, and I wasn't too sweet to heal then, average no stitches needed cut was 3-4 days. Burned a pinhole all the way to the bone. But I also got a little schmardter. ;-) Weather cleared but it blew the tarp off the work table, then added .4" to the rain gauge in about 10 minutes. So I went back out & cleared stuff off with the air hose & managed to get some more done before the sprinkler turned my way again. Not done yet, but need to hit advance auto for some #10 ring lugs suitable for 14 gauge wire before they quit for the evening. But see if the better half wants to go along & hit the steak house buffet for dinner. No use making 2 trips.
