Anyone else ever notice that hot slag inside your sneaker hurts :o?---  Just askin'.  By the way, we're getting ready to keg up the Galaxie 500.  I promise I'll try it out before I ever risk forum members health and well being 8).  Don't know what the yield will be but this has sure been fun-------------- ;D.  Hope to bring a growler or two to Beaver Springs.  Farmers almanac says cold, so density is up, looking forward to watching the T-Bolts.

With me it's just a lack of thought process ::).  I have welded in shorts, so I deserve what I get (as a negative bonus, I still think I can keep from burning myself 8)).  Problem is, when I see something that a quick bead will fix I'm just too lazy to read the OSHA regs and I fire up the torch or crank up my old Forney (spanks a Lincoln, you can braze with 'em too).  Are there bonus points for scars?

No, only missing body parts ;D

I have never found anything that PB Blaster and a little patience couldn't break loose. I'll use heat when the bolt heads are so far gone that you can't get a decent grip on them with a socket.

I am alys working on rusty stuff out at the farm. Many times I weld a nut to the offending bolt, after that they turn out by hand.
