Welding Tips and Tricks

So I'm thinking about having a buddy of mine embroider my name into my welding jacket. I just had a thought that this may turn out bad. Would regular thread be okay to use or would I risk lighting it up since it's kind of loose thread. Any experience/reccomendations.

If you are really concerned about it use nomex thread like we use on the racing uniforms.

Nothing like a good jacket fire to keep you on the cutting edge..If you ain't never been on fire before, you haven't mig welded. Use ALL your senses while welding

Ahhh! The smell of burning denim in the morning.

"Hey check it out, I'm on fire" me on more than one occasion.

Or acetone wiped with your welding gloves on...

Just don't get "Slag Daddy" embroidered on there

As my old instructor once said "If you see someone on fire, as a professional courtesy, please put them out.".

Just use a sharpie. Most greens don't last that long. Some dudes even do all that fancy Affliction stuff too!

Anders, I saw your pics on Instagram. Funny, you look a bit like I thought you might. That's unusual, because I'm usually very wrong.

Have you posted to "The Rouges' Gallery" here? I think exnailpounder started that one...

He he, you started that one Steve.
I'm on page 16
You certainly have a face memory

I finished listening to your podcast yesterday and "ya did gooood" . Found it as good listening to you as reading your posts.

I've been told I have a face for radio...

Did I really start the rouges' gallery? It's been so long since I've seen it posted to, that I've forgotten. I do like putting a face to a name, especially here, where it's unlikely I'll ever get the chance to shake more than a few hands of our members. You certainly looked happy in the pic in Palm Cove.

Thank you for your kind words on my podcast episode. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on that, certainly more than I expected. So far, no one has commented that I sound a bit intoxicated at the end (It takes over three hours to get enough useful talk for a one-hour show).

Well, somanabitch... I DID start the Rogues' Gallery. Going to have a look at page 16, and compare it to the recent IG photo...

Can't say I heard that, however was more than halfway thru a six-pack myself at the end
