I know better !
 

Just one little weld, just one little weld. DUMB ***** me! Just one little weld while wearing shorts and tennis shoes.


Result was a 2 inch piece of .035 mig wire red hot in the top of my shoe. 2nd degree full thickness burn, 2 days off working in the shop. I deserve it!

Re: I know better !
 

Your skin welder sucks jerry! hope you heal fast man, take care

Re: I know better !
 

Man, I know how that feels! I still have a few marks from weld burns. Whatcha going to do when you're overhead welding and a molten blob falls on your arm? Gotta finish the bead, burn be damned!

My other welding problem is I seem to always get a sunburn on my forearms if I'm not wearing a long sleeve shirt.

D@#* the foot! It'll heal but WHAT ABOUT THE SHOE?????:haha:

J/K dude! Hope the foot heals soon.

Re: I know better !

It's burning thru the shoe and wont stop, no mater how fast you shake your foot around !! http://i28.tinypic.com/dy53lz.gif http://i28.tinypic.com/dy53lz.gif http://i28.tinypic.com/dy53lz.gif

I've set my gottie on fire once too....man that really hurt (not pain wise, but the fact that it took me for days to grow it) :lol:

Over-head welding has zapped me too.....splatter down the shirt and seems to rest on the top of my belly !! ;)

Heal fast man, and get back to work !!!!

Later
