Whats on fire? OH SHIT THATS ME!
 

so im grinding a set of 20 pieces of 1x2x3.25" mild steel into d ring hangers for a run of jeep bumpers at work today.

suddenly i smell burning, and then a puff of smoke in my face.

I look down and my ------- leg is on fire! The sparks from grinding ignited my coveralls and burned two big holes in em, scorched my carhartts a little, and my leg feels a little burnt.

It was pretty funny. I wish I woulda had a camera.

Yeah I caught my shirt on fire last summer, was grinding my exhaust off where it goes over the LCA in the rear and it lit my shirt up pretty good, i was so wedged under the car though that I had a bitch of a time even getting an arm at it

You should see my welding clothes, I look like a crack addict. I seriously can't count how many times I lit myself on fire

Re:Whats on fire? OH SHIT THATS ME!
 

yep, getting lit on fire is no big deal, the worst is when you are welding and you don't have your ---- on, and the flux and ---- drips into your shoe, or lands on the top of the head, or the worst is when you are under a car on your back and the ---- falls onto your arm and burns through your shirt and stays on the tender inside of your arm, man that hurts.

As long as the fire stays away from my hair, I don't care.
