Back when I was learning to TIG at the local college the welding instructor said every day don’t throw your TIG torch over the metal you just welded there is a water line in all that for cooling purposes, He also said it never fails no matter how much he says it one idiot will do it......

My classes where late at night and my dad was always in bed before I even went to class. But one night my dad called, I panicked and threw my TIG torch over the metal I just welded and left my boot to talk to my dad when I came back I had a nice BIG puddle to clean up LOL.

After that I made it a habit to throw the TIG torch over my leg. Well as any one who has ever learned to TIG knows when you’re new you don’t always let of the pedal quite all the way and some times the tungsten gets red hot!!! Well one night I threw that RED HOT tungsten over my leg and missed the gap between my legs and threw it right in my lap it burned threw my pants faster than butter, O yea I also forgot to let the pedal all the way and sent a small charge to my William!

I can laugh at it now but back then it was a sore subject to talk about. LOL

=KR=

I'da been happy if it was my leg. i wasn't thinking and hung up my torch on a pipe above my head, then I stood up... Left a perfect imprint of a #6 cup dead center on the back of my neck. i swear it burned clean through to my spine, lol

Your wife puts a magnet in the washing machine with your work clothes to trap all the steel particles so the following wash loads don't end up with rust spots.

Don't ask!! - although I will say I now have my very own washing machine.

You might be a weldor if the most beautiful, curvaceous woman you have ever had on your arm is a tattoo.

YMBAWI you memorize everyone of these replies and can instantly quote them if someone asks for a certain post #. I think there are more of these than Jeff Foxworthy came up with for "You Might Be A Redneck If".
Here's one from me, I don't recall anyone posting this one yet. YMBAWI you can pick up a partial box of rods, see what size they are and tell how many are left in it by the wieght of the box.
After posting I looked at the # of replies,618, and the number of views, 1,689,489. One or probably both have to be a record # for only one thread on this forum. Can anyone think of one with higer numbers than this one? Also probably one of the longest running, timewise.
