Welding

Today I got a sheet of 3/16 steel and started replacing a section of my gravel truck box floor. I made some use of the plasma cutter and lots of use on my 7" grinder. Still seeing flashes and feeling hot sparks down my neck.

I thought that the hot flashes were for the ladies?
Cool about your truck though.

I know the feeling. Somedays you just wish instead of trying to achieve work you wish that you just drank.

I repeat, the flashes were from hi-voltage. No beer just the hi-voltage alone.

Maybe you should not use yourself as an integral part of the grounding cable when you weld!!

I know the feeling. By the time I'm done welding, my coveralls look like swiss cheese from the burns!

Haven`t got to the welding part, it`s still plasma cutting and grinding rusty twisted metal.
Where have you been Bouts21, haven`t seen any of your posts for awhile.
