Apron unnecessary for two minute job

[Pond frog]

Well I was wrong about that, I won’t be so lazy again unless I’m wearing nomex y-fronts , my god spatter stings if it gets in the wrong place

Try molten metal from oxygen/acetylene cutting when your wearing wellingtons, hey I was 17 and didn't appreciate the safety aspect. A splat of hot metal went down the inside of the boot and as I pulled my foot out of the boot it pushed it against my foot even more........ lesson learned.....safety first Mr Frog

I get into trouble when I don't wear my leather apron or welding jacket when cutting and grinding. Mainly when I come back in with another jumper with a new hole in it

 

[Badger1bear]

you can always recognise a fellow welder by the burn marks in their T shirts......you dont even have to say a word...its the knowing nod of the head as you pass LOL

Never wear slippers when moving a metal sheet.

Don’t ask me how I know that.

Dont wear crocs when climbing ladders

You mean you don’t have steel toed safety slippers to go with your leather welders dressing gown?

Aluminum upside down without proper welding gloves. When a blob falls inside the sleeve it burns flesh until it creates its own escape. Luckily cotton burns faster than flesh.

And wear gloves of some description, cut between thumb and finger takes ages to heal.

I wore flip-flops the other day when turning some tough metal. I was lucky

somehow I managed to get the hot end of a half inch bar up the inside of the heat resistant glove I was wearing. also a lump of red hot leaped off the hot cut, fell through the hole in the knee of my jeans, and bounce off my undone boots and went under the old block the anvil stands on and set it on fire. So many lessons learnt in a matter of seconds. Firstly, I could pick the anvil up with the help of a little adrenaline, but couldn't put it back afterwards when it had worn off..

It’s amazing what blind panic and adrenalin can accomplish when neccessary. It’s the next day when those same muscles remind you that you were playing silly beggers with them.

Do you know why they have all the holes in them?

Yeah, I get that a lot. Which reminds me I need to find the I did a stupid thing thread after trying to start a garden shredder with a can of carb cleaner down the shute...

I’m not sure I want to know

 

[Tangledfeet]

I’m not sure I want to know

No - you DO want to know!

It is so all your dignity and self-respect can drain away...

(I actually like Crocs as they are comfortable and utterly practical and I'm big enough and old enough not to care!)
