Default Rod Socks?

Ah! The hot slag in shoe dance. Ranks right up there with the River
Dancers. ;-)


Hehehe!

I know that trick... I built a phantom convertible out a '48 Ford Sedan,
took hours of sheet metal work. Unfortunately I didn't have a wirefeed, so I
did all the work with a gas welder. Running hot welding rod through your
coveralls into your thigh when cooling a weld, ranks right up there with the
slag shoe dance... Glad it was only my legs that got nailed a few times!

My Dad bought a wirefeed shortly after all the welding work was completed,
said he could see a real need for one. :-\
