Heavy end.
Why is it that whenever we get a bit of metal verrrry hot and then drop it we always seem to pick it back up by the heavy end......
Says me with my fingers in a cup of cold water.

I think for the same reason that when you drop toast it will always land on the floor butter side down.

As you get older you also learn to drop your head and watch when small components of gadgets you're working on drop. If you don't watch them all the way until they stop, then they disappear forever.

When you drop a red hot chunk of metal, you CAN learn to levitate & keep both feet in the air until it stops bouncing & rolling around the floor - all these 'mystics' have got it wrong, you just need more incentive. Also known to some as 'The Blacksmith Two-step'

I once dropped a scalpel into my lap, blade down and impersonated a Rabbi ritual.
Two stitches and no 'extras' for a fortnight
