What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

I'd rather have a welding burn than a paper cut any day. The paper cut, I'll forget until the parts cleaner hits it... :shock:

Fun fact-if you are oxy fuelwelding and aren't wearing sleeves, be careful don't roll the filler wire onto your arm.

Or if you are using an abrasive chop saw and want to protect a lathe behind it from sparks don't use a cotton welding shirt-it lights up fast with all the Sparks.
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Whatcha the opening at the cuff of a button up shirt, I was tigging a long bead and I slid my arm up on the piece and found that opening when I ran it across the bead lol
It's always best to build your own, especially when it comes to hitches!!!

You know the definition of insanity is doing something repeatedly and expecting different results. I guess burning ourselves over and over again makes us all insane. You'd think we'd figure out that metal is usually hot and sharp and the tools that cut them are sharp and the tools that cut them and weld them produce a lot of heat.

Really nice looking projects,I love diamond plate,square tube and angle,it's just alot of fun to work with,just built my first couple of projects with the stuff,they turned out great,I cut the plate with plasma and a straight edge,but I have wondered about the saws,I wouldn't mind trying one out,you ever bend any of the square tube,I made a bender that works pretty good,anyhow great looking builds
