It’s kind of like work

In case you’ve been wondering where I’ve been lately, keep this image in your head (all pics are clickable)

That is arc welding the booth I’ve spent much of the last week working in. It is 8ft by 8ft and surrounded in eye shielding plastic. I’ve been doing this

Over and over again. What you are actually seeing there is six welds. There is the initial one connecting the two pieces together in a T, then two more on top of that and then there are the three you can see there starting from the bottom with the third one being the shiny one.

This week I’ll be going back to Oxygen Acetylene gas welding and cutting, and then back to Shielded Metal Arc Welding, and back and forth until the second week of December until I can (hopefully) do this in my sleep, not only flat (like this one) but also vertically and in the overhead position.

Yes, I’m covered head to toe in either leather or plastic. I’m fond of being flame retardant when I’m in class. I’ll try to get a pic of me in my full get-up and some more pics of the facilities.
