I built a HF tool box and it nearly severed my fingers so I started a metal band.

I was building my HF tool cart and got my codriver to help me lift the box up onto the legs and it nearly sliced all of our fingers off. She named it "Danger Box" which inspired me to draw this logo:

To which she responded that we need to start a garage metal band called that where all of our tunes lyrics' are cursing from working on the cars.

You want me to cut that out of vinyl? 

We all want that cut out of vinyl.  Do you have any leopard print?

Dont forget the tear-jerking ballad "Dirt In My Eyes" and the lament of lost love "I Just HAD that berkeleying Tool!"

Don’t get “that” on your Hootus.   

Rock opera - "Transfer Case to the Forehead... Where am I?"

If you want to appeal to kids these days I suggest songs like this instead:

• ethylene glycol sizuuurrp
• my other car is a phone
• mom, can you pick me up at 10?

Brilliant!

Does the Pope wear a funny hat?

I'd love a big negative cut out so I can use it as a mask to paint the logo onto the lid. 

The part of this whole thing that makes me laugh the most is that I know exactly at what point in the assembly process you were and where your hands were when the digits were in peril. Everyone I know who has put one of those carts together knows exactly how that went down.

Sorry.

I think the appropriate way to stencil that sort of logo is to cut it out of cardboard with a box cutter.

I don't know how you guys keep losing 10mm wrenches and sockets. It's the tools I never use that I lose, not the ones I use constantly.

In reply to Brett_Murphy :

hey Brett, I don't think that's in the spirit of the board

In reply to Brett_Murphy :

Sarcastic high pitch voice: "It worked in CAD."

In reply to Keith Tanner :

I think the 10mm tends to get accidentally left under the hood when wrenching and then lost.  My ex- found a Snap-on 10mm socket under the hood of her second M3.  I found a Snap-on 10mm deep socket while on a road ride a few months ago. 

Another song: An Ode to the CEL/VAG Owner's Lament - an epic song of frustration, discovery, more frustration and short-lived triumph.

You are missing the big rock ballad (think Every Rose has a Thorn):

10mm, Please Come Back

I have also found a Snap-on 10mm deep in the middle of the road.

Rusty Cornea is a great name for the first album.

In reply to Javelin :

I've got a BUNCH of stuff going on in the next few days/over the weekend. If I haven't posted progress on this by next week send me a message because I forgot. The vinyl guy is always a flake. I'm no exception. I will get it done for you though. 

I was going to date a girl in college, then I saw she had that exact tattoo just below her belt.

Potential lyrics?

”I lay in wait for my chance to strike,

Hit that bolt, then I’ll steal your sight.

Tears of pain, the damage is done,

You cry out for relief, but there is none...”
