I was 23yrs old the first time I worked on a 992C. I was in awe with a hint of fear for about a week before I got use to the size

Absolutely! True story..... I've seen a guy spinning a planetary gear in the housing with his finger. ( goofing around of course )When he reached to keep it spinning, the gear caught his finger in the housing and sheared his index finger tip right off at the first knuckle! So much weight and inertia never even slowed the gear down.

My mug and my wife Susan's mug can be found on the mugshot thread.
Ya, it always takes extra focus when working with big components. one brain fart can cost much more than a cut or bruise.
