[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3359822, member: 43724"] When I worked at Southwestern Wire, they had a gas furnace that used pieces of railroad rail to keep the wire from slicing into the gas pipes under the sand. After a while those rails would get sliced up pretty good. Instead of buying new ones, they would just weld them back up and grind them flat. As luck would have it I was just learning to weld when they needed to change them (did this twice a year as you have to wait 3 full days for the furnace to cool before you can get inside it). For two solid days I did nothing but stick weld 4 rails back up. After the first 3 hours I found out real quick why you wear long sleeves, even in summer, when welding. To this day I still have a hatred for rails that is completely illogical, yet still there. [/QUOTE]
