Apologies if I've told this story before.
One day I was helping a friend with his Triumph car. It still didn't have a body on it and was on axle stands while I did some welding on the chassis. I was sitting cross-legged on the ground so I could see what I was doing without having to bend over.
I wasn't wearing a leather apron that day.
When I was back home I went to take a shower. When I undressed I noticed a hole in the front of my trousers. And another in the back of my trousers. And a matching pair of holes in my boxers. A little ball of molten steel had flown off without my noticing and missed by an inch a part of my body where no man wants molten anything.
b3tans, if you do any welding, remember that the apron is just as important as the helmet.
