The major problem, bully bosses. Good on the young fella for standing his ground. Sad about the other bloke.

I'm SO glad your son is okay, that must be kind of scary to think about... close call...

Good you raised someone that can stand up for themself. That supervisor probably wouldn't have lost a wink of sleep had your kid gotten torched. Certainly the company execs didn't.

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31 ,,,''''

@@likeasparrowinthewildernes8333 I'm sorry, but do you honestly think somebody is going to read all that?

I can imagine how tempting it is, if your tank is stuffed ... But after this vid and the tale from @Grantos1ea , like, er.. Nahhhh .. No tanks! 4 months ago

It can be done safely, fuel tanks get welded every day but need to know what your doing and do everything to the book, no room in that job for slap-dash Harry. They're either filled with water or inert gas (like nitrogen) after thorough cleaning. Gas monitors can tell you if a flammable atmosphere is inside a tank but not cheap.

good dad. Teaching your daughter whatever skills she wants to learn as well as the safety thing.

Hopefully the shockwave made him instantly unconscious, it sounds like it almost certainly did. The tragedy of loss of a young life lasts generations.

Good tip. I said so in a vid earlier this week. (Unlikely to kill you, however...)

@@AutoExpertJC I once saw a young apprentice try to blow some dust from his overalls using the Oxygen from the Oxy/Accetaline torch... the Fireball he turned into ran quite quickly outside and rolled in the nearest puddle of water he could find (It rains a lot in Wales!).. He was ok after... but a little Singed.! lol!

The, Umm, glorious 200 liter shop compressor. They go off like a bomb. Happened to the local wrecking yard. The end basically popped off and sent the compressor and the concrete slab (Old footstep It looked like) right through the shop walls and knocked over 2 stacks of cars that were piled 3 cars high. It sure tickled the ears and browned the pants.

@@TheHungrySlug all 200 litre shop compressor. are bomb, it just they haven gone off yet, (same as the old steam engine boilers, when they go they they ready go, stud wall, it like to go brick wall, and scrannel, going all ways will not be good for your heath too. ? including bit wall, and anything in the way, etc,

The other thing with that is that if the compressor is an oiled one (like most of them), oil/oil residue may well be in that tank when someone applies a welder to it and once again we're back to high flammable liquids in a pressure vessel when the heat comes on.

@@dh2032 "all 200 litre shop compressor. are bomb, it just they haven gone off yet, (same as the old steam engine boilers," those to things really aren't the same.

@@bestjunky Going to have to press doubt on that. It burst your skin open under jeans from the shockwave and you are still here to talk about it?

A more extreme version of 'never grab for a falling tool' It could be your soldering iron, and you might catch it (in a way you wont like much)

@@petegaslondon ....been there, done that, got the t-shirt and scars to prove it! ;)

It's no more specialised than all the other processes imo gal welding is at the top of the class for special, stainless is enjoyable to weld just ventilate the area an keep breaths to a minimum 👍. Gal poisoning knocks you around a fair bit more but without the dull headache

@@bailiesworld3923 i just mentioned what i was told and the reasons I didn’t weld it. Dad used a TIG at work but I’ve never had one or a real need to buy one. As for gal, i have welded gal pipe but i ground it off first and did my best to avoid the fumes. I also do my best to avoid it altogether. I got a lung full of something at tech once and didn’t like it, so i never went back for seconds.

Bugger. I weld stainless all the time and regularly can't find both gloves. Very proficient at not burning myself now, but still get to 2 inches of filler rod before throwing it out as hand starts cooking. Uhm. Yeah. Well. I knew it's bad but not THIS FUCKING BAD. I'm changing my ways. Honestly. Cheers AutoExpertJ

@@winzracingNZ dad was a boily for almost 40 years, says he never wore a glove on his right hand. He never said why but I’m betting it’s something to do with control. He now has lymphoma but it’s unknown if this is connected in anyway.

​@@python27au You can never say that cancer is because of that. But risk definitely rises when exposed to uv radiation for example. I don't get why you wouldn't use gloves.

That's a good technique too.

Used steel wool as a firestarter back in the scouts when I was a boy. Good point 👍

Use bronze wool instead.

Pure lint from the dryer can be dangerous as eph, too. I collect it for fire starting purposes, but keep it double-bagged in ziplocks, on the presumption that I am keeping air away from it. When I put a wad into the bag, I compress it down AFAP just to get all the air out of it, then put the second baggy over it and compress that down, too. I suppose that might not be enough, but the compressed bag stays compressed, so I presume the air inside is as minimal as possible, so even if it did spontaneously ignite by self-heat generation, that it would quickly snuff itself before melting both layers of baggie.

@@nickbrutanna9973 If you wanted to go the extra mile, wrap it in a few layers of aluminium foil, first. That way, all flame would be contained even if the bag were to melt.

@@nickbrutanna9973 dryer lint spontaneously igniting seems difficult to imagine, though I'm told it's accumulation can become quite the fire hazard. The litany of toxic gases from intentionally induced high temperatures and extreme caution against errant sparks snagging obscured catalysts are cautions worth echoing.

Same issue with using common work or home fans to EXTRACT gases, etc. from a home or shop. The electric motors are not rated explosion-proof, so brushes arcing and such create the Spark of Immolation as the flammable vapors ignite. Even if the fan is "upwind" of the work area some thought should be given to this potential hazard.

Maybe they were trying to build a carbide lamp

@@CatrikDidnt know what that was had to google it. Could be plausible. I wont be building one!

That works for lpg but water won't ensure oil fuels are all gone

@@dzonz4274 - cut while full of water - that guarantees fewer lingering fumes... - or flare the suckers right off. (disambiguation - not recommended)

So if I have about ten lpg cylinders that I'm not sure about... Like, they may have lpg but no pressure in them to work (expel)... Do I just unscrew the valves or better to stand well away and shoot with large bore rifle?

I recently replaced a burnt leather welding jacket (oxytorch flame strayed on to it) and had to do a bit of shopping to find one that DIDN'T have Velcro or nylon in it.

@@amateurmakingmistakes Leather is great if you can get one.

Attempting a confined space rescue without safety gear will claim more victims. Pits, tanks, trenches, even some confined small rooms create a deadly risk to the hasty rescuer.

@markh.6687 Apparently, storage rooms on ships where the anchor chain is stored is also dangerous. The chain rusts due to being wet with seawater, using up all the oxygen.

@@suttoncoldfield9318 There was an incident in the US where an OUTDOOR area became a confined space due to several buildings and a weather condition combining to injure workers overcome by fumes. I'd have to search for it, but it was related to a steel mill if memory serves.

Good technique - displace the air with CO2.

@@AutoExpertJC yes I thought you’d like that….

Sounds a little Ironic how NatRad used the "Standard Process" After degreasing the Fuel Tank SIX TIMES ???

@@weldmachine well that’s because it was in the procedure to rinse out the tank until you can’t smell the fuel any more but the reality is you can always get the smell of a tinge of fuel and it took them six times to get the smell right down also using degreaser Rinse tank out until you can’t smell fuel any more, then weld up the hole using dry ice pellets inside the tank. That’s the procedure duuuuuuuude

@@weldmachine I don’t think it’s that complicated. They just didn’t want the whole thing to go bang so they kept degreasing it and washing it until they couldn’t smell any fuel any more and even then you can always smell a tiny bit. The standard process is degrease the tank till you can’t smell the fuel and then use the dry ice. I don’t see what the big deal is. I think it’s a bloody good procedure

Both types are available here in Australia. The same product line can include an option of chlorinated or not in common brands.

Still used in the US as well.

The proper way to do it if welding would be to fill the tank with CO2 (or nitrogen) gas while doing the welding in a ventilated area to avoid accumulating the CO2. Displacing oxygen and fumes from the work.

Looking what those discs are made of and what we do with them... Fine glass fiber, metal and abrasive dust, it can't be good. You can see the stuff glittering in the sunlight. Wear at least mask, or better, respirator. Welders use ventilated masks while welding and grinding for a reason. Those angle grinders are dangerous on so many levels. Protect vision, hearing and breathing, don't burn yourself or something else, don't let it catch-snatch you, watch the sparks etc.

Solid technique 🤜

Energy and power are not the same thing. High explosives are more powerful.

I had one go off on a welding bench, it was more of a flare up from the hole in the side of it than an explosion. It took me several minutes to figure out what caused the orange flash that reflected off the wall behind me and lit up the inside of my welding helmet.

@@ozmaniac101 getting them to act like a weapon against someone else and not sending you to the ER would be the trick.😉

A co worker had that happen while doing torch on waterproofing (outside of basement walls). He'd used the lighter to light the torch, then set it down on the wall's footing, that had been waterproofed a few minutes prior, and was still warm. A few minutes later, the lighter went POP!@@cunning-stunt

When I was deployed to Iraq we would light bic lighters on fire when we were bored by putting a few squirts of hand sanitizer over them, lighting that on fire, then getting back. None of them ever exploded, whichever part of the plastic melted out first would just shoot a stream of fire until it ran out of gas. That's pretty much it, but I definitely wouldn't want to have one on me if it went up in flames. Maybe it is possible for it to explode if it was burned or melted in a certain way though.

Story from a metro Chicago steel mill. Oxygen bottles were disappearing, and nobody could figure out why. Security measures were stepped up, counts re-counted, etc. Still the bottles were disappearing. Until the day somebody watched guys putting the bottles on a piece of scrap i-beam and knocking the valves off with a sledgehammer. They were shooting the bottles into the lake, and almost hit a ship with one.

not to mention that if anything had been burning or sparking at all nearby, it would have likely started a fire, oxygen makes everything more flammable.

This reminds me of an incident I was involved with some years ago. We were installing a shingle roof on a new house. There was a steel I beam that supported part of the second story, which needed a triangle shaped section cut off to allow us to install the plywood substrate for the lower roof. Late summer, lots of dry, dead grass around the site. The steelwork contractor showed up and began to use a cutting torch to cut the I beam, while I was installing the shingles on another part of the roof. Soon, I smelled smoke, and looked down to see the grass on fire. I climbed down from the roof in a hurry, shouting 'Fire" while doing so, and had to use one of the asphalt roof shingles to beat down the flames, while the guy who had been using the torch grabbed buckets of water from a farm trough to put out the fire completely. It was a close call, the house could have gone up if the foil faced paper under the chipboard floor had caught alight.

Not to worry, candidates will always find a way. Competition is fierce.

Humanity always invents a better idiot.
