Pullstart 62,840 #1 Posted August 18, 2022 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! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,316 #2 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) 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!!! Edited August 18, 2022 by ri702bill 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,079 #5 Posted August 18, 2022 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! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a clamp imprint in the sole now! 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...
