OMG...!!! 
I have wondered how I would react in a situation like that. Next trip to Home Depot there will be a couple of NEW red bottles coming home with me and getting placed in easily accessible spots in the garage.
Glad to hear you all survived and didn't do any serious damage to the place.

Jeez, Dennis, you guys really get "fired up" when your working on your babies. Bet you would make some money if you had taped it and sent it in to Funniest Home Videos. 
Glad no one was hurt and no real damage done. See ya in HS.

All we really burnt up was a couple of shop rags and made a mess with the white powder. Not even a scorch to the bench top. Worst case was the fire was next to 4 bottles of propane for the little heaters we use when it is really cold.

These kind of stories are best when you can laugh about them. Glad no one was hurt, and thanks for sharing the laugh with the rest of us!
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
