content: Oh lord. I thought my Frankenstein conversion of a shitty rusted up SIP Migmate 120 to a MG15 Eurotorch was badAt least I have an apron and gauntlets, not to mention an auto dark welding mask!(PS: If converting your hobby MIG welder, do not go for a 4 or 5M Eurotorch, get the smallest 3M - you will thank me!)

content: Quote from: nctnico on December 06, 2015, 08:38:28 pmHaving worked as a welder, I can tell you that I would never weld on my knees... that is an open invitation to spatter balls getting wedged between the floor and your knee cap causing a burn. Your boot won't care about the spatter balls on the other hand.
