GerPronouncedGrr:
My boss MiG welds with no protection at all pretty much constantly. Just closes his eyes before making the actual weld. It's utter idiocy, and terribly dangerous, but he seems to be immune to heat, UV rays, and slag. One of my co-workers tried it once and ended up with an arc burn on his eyelids. Personally, I have no desire to go blind, so helmet it is.
EDIT: I'm really want to see what Faye's welding helmet looks like. Different personalities choose different helmets, in my experience. I'm curious to see what her design choice says about her.
DSL:
Concerns over your boss' eyesight and general health aside (which seems to be his attitude) -- why would I trust a weld he makes? My limited understanding of TIG welding is that it requires a certain precision as far as distance of arc tip from the weld, as well as feeding in the fill metal, which seems to be an impossibility with one's eyes shut.
GerPronouncedGrr:
Yes, you're definitely correct, he never TiGs like that, and to be honest if anyone could I would be *very* impressed. But MiG is just point and shoot, if what you're doing doesn't have to be structurally sound. It's like a glue gun. A really, really hot, dangerous glue gun for metal.
Kugai:
Faye's one of those who welds the story together
*Drops a slip of Latinum in the jar*
Is it cold in here?:
Given Dora's' musical tastes, perhaps they need a welder to prepare the metal lattes.
Would anyone be surprised if one of the specials turned out to be a cup of scrap iron?
