It’s been a while… Weld mistake

Recommended Posts

Shorts and boots today!  Making a tack weld I set my pinky right onto a piece of hot weld slag!  It sure cooked through to the meat fast!

Had to decide between the "Haha" and the "Sad" emojie! Back in the short track racing daze, I was cutting off the mangled rear bumper of the Stock Car after an eventfull Saturday night while it was up on the trailer using the "Gas Axe" - My foot was under the area I was cutting - hit the Oxy Lever and molten metal went down the inside of my boot, melted the sock and burned into the skin. Cauterized it though! You only do that ONCE!!!

I remember cutting off an exhaust system on a car. Hot muffler clamp on the floor and I stepped on it. Smelled something funky. There was a clamp imprint in the sole now! :lol:

Funny that you mention that.

 

Before I redid the exhaust system on my Ranger... I was working on some other stuff under the truck. Truck was hot. Exhaust system was hot. My hand somehow went from my body to the cat-converter...

 

My handprint remained on that cat-converter cover until the day I replaced it... :laughing-rolling:

If you wore flip-flops like our host, you could have a scar on the side of one foot !!!

Or a chunk of hot slag down the opening in his cowboy boots!
