no.

he is a north antarctican. only 5 ways to kill a n. a. with a welder.
born tough and thick as a brick.

the rest of youse - well........i dunno, it must be that you can think of more ways to knock yourselves off being stupid.

my dad was a welder. i loved the bit in the vid about the sweaty gloves.
he used sticks in my childhood and had three pairs of gloves.
the wet sweaty gloves thing i remember well him talking about it.
its hot in north antarctica. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

my dad was trained by japanese shipbuilders in the late 60s.
he could flame staighten steel plate --- thanks to their training.
and he developed a taste for suntory in 1968 as a result.
which he went to great lengths to try and source during the 70s.
he even did some direct import.
beer. welding. ships. steel.
australia was a great country back then.
now its............... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Thanks for posting!


WD-40 has changed to non-flammable pressurization in the US.

It's why the cans NEVER run out before the pressure does now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

The old could be used as a small flame thrower (always use the tube!) with a lighter.

The new stuff will not burn now but I wouldn't want to test it with a welder.


Now, a can of B12 (which I use all the time as a solvent) would be a BOMB!

Really good video to post!

It’s a good idea to wear a welding respirator anytime you weld, and good ventilation. Many MIG welding wires and stick electrodes contain manganese which over time can contribute to Parkinson’s. You can’t be too careful.
