I was just curious what people are welding in during the summer months. I am in Atlanta so it has been 95deg +/- in my garage which makes wearing long sleeves and long pants unbearable. Is everyone else just toughing it out or do you all have air conditioned garages? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Carpenter jeans (loose fit), and if you cant stand long sleeve shirts (they make really thin shirts..), then get a pair of these from your favorite welding supply. I used them all the time welding in the shop in 115 deg weather. Ya we were fucking hot, but we had BIG fans blowing behind us. Just take them off when your not welding.

Be careful the fans can blow away the shielding gas, then you make crappy welds Which is why you stand right in front of the fans blocking the wind from the weld. Oh and you crank the gas up 25%. Did it for years.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
