Anything welding

Chiming in on injury:

I'm not going to the newest post until you all are done with posting your body damage.

I lose my stomach when I see these pics by surprise . I'm not afraid to admit that Im a pussy when involving blood.

I don't want to see it!

If you can't describe it, please prelude it with a "spoiler" alert.

Tag me when done with posting the gore.

 

Spoiler: SPOILER

If you type SPOILER=“Title” in these things [] before your post and then /Spoiler in [] again after you’ll have a Spoiler post thing.

cheers.

 

Spoiler: blood and stuff

 

Thanks guys.

I didn't click any of the spoiler boxes, but I am glad you can see where I'm coming from.

 

This face shield/goggles combination is the most comfortable and least distracting I have ever used. The goggles have a good gasket and don't seem to fog too bad either. Less than $20 on Amazon.

 

I really like that set when working with liquids! Splashes on the face are eliminated.

 

Nice for under a vehicle too.
I do all my work alone (and did at work too), at home the nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away so I try to be extra vigilant about my own protection -- I might be there a long time before help arrived.

 

Smart.

I like.

 

First cut of the year. I'm so proud. Let's have a moment of silence for the shit storm ahead.

The first one ain’t bad



it’s the second that’ll get ya

 

Just ordered, thanks!

 

Sorry man. I just thought you guys would get a laugh out my dumbass move. I forgot some people don't like to see that kinda stuff or I would have just described it instead of showing the carnage!

I never tried the "spoiler alert" thing. Don't even know how it works.

 

How about 3rd degree burns? Just asking.
LMAO

The price I gladly pay for living in the woods.

I do wonder how long it might be till someone by chance stops by to find my body.

Since I have few friends that live close by after years working on the road and they still work and have there own things to get done.

 

Finished welding these this week.

 

Was there a event in your past that caused this reaction ?

It brings to mind a little scratch and in the summer I bleed pretty good on the under side of my arm where I can`t feel it because of sweating .

I stand up turn around my young helper looks and screams and starts to just slowly sit down.

I had heard of this but never saw it in person

 

Sometimes, pictures (and even sounds) can bring back something that may have been very traumatic.

I can view injuries all day without issue, but a specific type of injury sends me hurling. It's directly related to something I was a part of however, so that feeling can never be shaken off.

It happens.

 

Using a mig welder to weld some 1/8 steel to a connex box. I think it’s 14 ga. On The skin of the connex.

any tips? Other than it’s sucks.

 

I see no issues just set up some material and practice. Get the machine dialed in.

Just what is this new piece to be used for?

Control the heat start and stop what ever works.

It might help to know just what your using ? .023 hard wire would be the best

Yes it would suck if your trying to use .052 wire
