PSA: Welder Flash Burns Suck

[GSPHUNTER]

I'm not a welder myself, but I work with a crew of them every day. One thing I've learned about guys who weld: each of them is the best welder ever in history of welding (just ask 'em), and anyone else who welds sucks balls at it. This is apparently a golden rule amongst those who weld.

I have known many, many welders, two of whom could lay down such a pretty bead, it would make your D*&k hard.

This is spot on

Safety glasses that block UV are an easy way to avoid this. It's bright, but it doesn't torch your eyes as much.

That hot sandpaper in my eyes feeling is one I don't care for too much. Have had a few times in the past where I forget to nod it down tig welding, and a few times where other people welding got me.

Auto darkening hoods are amazing. You don't usually burn your eyes if it doesn't darken. It still blocks the UV that would damage them. It's just bright as ****.

Goes with operators, attorneys, and surgeons as well.

Just acknowledging this means you’re basically a journeyman welder at this point also lol.

The thing you learn about flash burn, it hurts when you close your eyes, and it hurts when you open your eyes. So it’s a two fold .

I think it's just the competitive nature of people to think they're the best at whatever they do. How many guys show up in the morning, gear up for work and say to themselves "Jeez I suck at this"?

But how was the penetration?

One guy i work with was the number 2 ranked under water welder in the world. Didnt know they had ranking systems haha

I have a quality self darkening hood….works like a champ when you charge it in sunlight AND change the batteries Regularly. Those quarter sized batteries are anemic.

This right here... Thanks!

The raw potato slices work & a high quality auto hoods are the only way.

I have said that to myself hiking out without killing an animal. Does that count?

@CorbLand You just need to give yourself a little pep talk in the mornings.

Ah yes, the quintessential "know it all, one upper". Classic.

Any of you welders have suggestions for gifts for a young welder?

I'm gonna put a tool box together for him with the basics, but he asked to take welding in school and seems to really like it.

14yo boy.
