I'm wondering if my body's temp gauge is malfunctioning...
When I grind blades to mod the handle shape,or other bits of metal,
I grind with bare hands to as to know when the metal is getting hot.
When it gets uncomfortably warm,I give it a few seconds dunk in a bucket of water beside me.
It just dawned on me yesterday that when I dunk metal,
it goes "psst" as it hits the water,and little bubbles come of it til it's cool...
How hot is that, and how comes my skin ain't melting?
(yes,I am doing the Owwweee Dance until it hits water,
but still...am I a freak of nature,or are there others like me?)
