Welding Jacket

[caver]

My dad worked as a welder for Gardner Denver before I was born until the early 70's. He always told a story of having a shirt with a pocket underneath his welding jacket. He kept getting these warm sensations on his chest and was starting to get concerned that he was having some health issue. He finally took a break and removed his jacket to find his pocket had completely smoldered away. He'll be 89 in about a month.

Welding wouldn't be much fun if you didn't set you self on fire every now and then.:fiery: Brakes the monotony.:cool2::drink:

In a pinch you can just wet down a long sleeve shirt for small jobs it also helps if you are welding laying under a vehicle or whatever your working on take a small blanket and soak it in water to cover yourself!

I literally had a flannel shirt burst into flames on me one day. Pretty exciting.

I can give you a written and notarized lifetime guarantee that your two scenario's will never happen....
That is what checkbooks are for.
Sometimes you have to make time for fishing. :fishing:

Lol I find it easier to get under a piece of equipment and weld than finding a notary that's like at least 1hr away lol

I’ve done enough crawling under equipment in my life. My attitude these days is if it doesn’t fit on the bench, isn’t waist height, or can’t be turned upside down, it really doesn’t need welding or fixing.

my oldest boy is 10 in 3 to 5 years i should be able to stop crawling under or climbing onto things as much lol just like once he hit 3 years old i no longer bend over to pick up dropped tools or parts lol

Wow, gotta love that amazon prime. Mrs.tiller signed up for a month of free amazon prime last week so I ordered the jacket after lunch Saturday and the mailman delivered it to my front door at 10:00 this morning. That's about 45 hours, and over a holiday weekend.

It looks like Magid clothing sizes are pretty accurate. The jacket is plenty big over a t-shirt. I probably could have ordered a 3x and been just as happy.
