I used to think it was great, but now I think about a powermatic bandsaw.
(AvE was involved. I chose wood shop because he said there weren't any old welders i.e. they don't live long)
- abakker 7y agoever seen a welder wearing a mask? I really haven't. But, I've seen many welders breathing stick welding fumes through a lit filter cigarette...sigh. As someone who welds as a hobby, I'd say the bigger danger for anyone welding is probably grinding dust/silicosis, rather than welding fumes. (But, There are obvious qualifications, like don't weld zinc, etc.)
- ken 7y agoThat's a funny claim. I know welders of all ages. The older ones seem to tend to migrate to other work which requires less physical exertion, but that's true of every job I see. I don't know any old dancers, but that doesn't mean dancing is lethal. It means they tend to shift to choreography or teaching or something else as they get older.
