learning how to weld---step one

[Cowcatcher]

A guy I know bought him a tig welder not long ago. He learned he could sit in a chair and weld because tig doesn't throw sparks down his shirt or in his lap. This fella got all cozy in his chair and when he went to strike an arc he then realized the ground clamp was laying in his lap. Don't know if it was a hole in his jeans or sweat but he took a shock to the uhhh ummm man parts. No it DOES NOT work like viagras nor does it cause any negative effects that he's noticed.

LOL, I wonder who that might be ? No I don't, I've got a sneaking suspision who it is...
I've got round about 40 yrs of welding experience, had a rig on the road in the 80s when the TX oilfields were booming and was once certified.. I've done plastic welding too, both the coil rod and extrusion, no helmet needed.. I was damn near born welding as Dad had a machine and welding shop.. Still do a little farm welding when I have to.. Mig / wire welding is by far the easiest for a person to learn..

I learned stick welding back in Ag class. I haven't done it since.

Like to see how he got out.....step 2. My son learned how to do Tig/Mig at Metro Tech Vo tech. He wasn't excited about welding as me.

Had to have someone come along with an angle grinder and cut him out. That was funny.
