How Not To

Step 30 Welding Burn

I was trying to anneal a bronze snap shackle with an acetylene torch. As I set down the torch the flame grazed the back of my left hand for an instant. That was enough to give me a nasty burn.
Now it looks like a zombie bite. It will probably scar badly because I've been outside in sunlight.

Don't get burned!

How not to...Refill a Fondue Burner.


My father was having a Romantic dinner a few years ago..Fondue, with the Gas burners and all.I got sent to my room, so as not do Disturb them.He tells me halfway through the dinner, the gas was out.. Hmmph, well, he picks the thing up, brings it to the counter, pours some Burner gas into a cup and throws it in so as not to have the bottle explode in his hand.. Light, no worky.. Hell, throws caution overboard, pours it from the bottle.. BOOM, Counter ,shirt and hand are ablaze. the Wife Jumps up, grabs a fire extinguisher and Empties it on him.. Imagine that wound about five times Bigger.

eww...  that reminds me of a nasty wound  i got when i fell off my bike once.

[moooosh]

should have got yourself a compression glove, they stop the scar getting all raised and hard and protect it from sunlight at the same time =)

A burn that size is excruciatingly painful (I've had one) and makes one fear the source of the injury.
