As a kid my dad would always get me to do it but maybe we were strange as he was a truck/diesel mechanic as well. Do kids still do it? My 5 year old loves it.
I’m glad it’s still a thing. My kids love it.
I’m no welder or diver but I’ve heard people say underwater welding is hard on your body. How so aside from the added danger of decompression sickness and the whole drowning issues? It seems to me if it would be better for you lungs as you’re not breathing in anything but mix gases.
I was cleaning my garage the other day and stumbled across my old compactor and dock door keys from when I was a D93 DH 15 years ago. I was fired for some reasons that were pretty lame in my opinion and never gave them back. I was never asked for them. I don’t think they went through the proper channels when they gave them to me. They wouldn’t want them back would they?
They are pretty cool. If I could find one relatively rust free for a decent price I’d make one mine.
