Welding ground...don't do this!

LOL.....Funny you should say this. When I was a kid (13), I decided to use my dads arc welder to fix my bike while he was at work. I put on the face shield, welding jacket and gloves and crouched down and did my welding. That night the burn and itching was intolerable. Note to self...........Don't wear shorts when you weld.:BangHead:

In my twenties I thought I would just close my eyes and lay down some dimes...
Needless to say I had a gnarly sunburn across my face/eyelids...and yeah only a t-shirt...ruined a few favorites that's for sure.
There's a couple of those welds on my car to this day that I want to grind off and redo at the frame connectors
