Ear fizzers are a pain..


I guess my two silly moments where back at school circa 1991.

1) I was wellding a Z-Shaped leg for a computer desk with the Oxy kit. Did a nice neat weld well impressed with myself. Shut the rig down so I could move the work round. turned back and grabbed the work by the corners, and listend as something sizzeld.. Then ran to the sink and ran my hand under the tap for 15 minuets.

2) Was welding the table top on the workshop floor, crouching over the workpice, all going swimmingly. Stopping and resting periodicaly to check the work and rest my filler rod hand. One time during resting I smelt burning and then found I was resting the filler rod on my foot just befor the shoe started... OUCH!!!
