Thread: Project "Left Overs" is back alive !

Ain't that the truth! I was crouched down welding on the side of a roll cage once and a piece of slag burned through my pants right next to my zipper. Fortunately, by the time it got through my jeans it had lost enough heat that all it did was scorch a spot on my underwear. Yes, I felt the heat, but it didn't leave any marks. (Whew!) Now I'm a little more careful about the positions I put myself in when welding...

I still do most of my welding in shorts and tank top, but I wear high-top shoes anyway 'cause I've learned all the dance steps I need.

Hehe, one time I was laying upside down under a dash doing wiring and when I stripped off the end of a wire a little piece went right in my nostril ! Luckily, I was able to blow it back out, but it had me worried there for a minute.

And let's not even talk about sand when sandblasting !

There, see the computer added a second blow!

Only one "blow" in what I see, Don.

You are lucky,Jim..I had a small molten ball of slag hit me in the chest,burn throgh my shirt,and roll down my front..Instinctively puled my stomach in ,ripped my shirt out of my pants,and,you guessed it..It rolled straight down the inside of my pants,undershorts and all....I dont recommend a tattoo down there,,a hot spark is definitely not fun either..
