Be Careful!

[Jack]

Just thought I'd post this to remind everyone to be cautious when working around your hot exhaust pipes. I just touched mine for a split second when reaching for something.

It'll hurt more tomorrow

It happened a couple days ago and it's starting to feel somewhat better. I used Aloe Vera gel on it and it hurt bad for a couple minutes each time I slathered it on, but it drys to a covering that protects it. I highly recommend it on burns.

Jack what machine you using?

I know most machine have a guard in place, but I'm using a pressure washer in combination with a CFX and booster. Some day I'll get a real TM.

I would get that looked at. Had some bad burns, but that one just looks wrong.

I've thought about that, but the swelling is going down and seems like it's on the mend. It sure doesn't take long to fry the skin. If pain persists I will definitely see a doc.

I burnt my arm, bending down on my Harley to retrieve my sunglasses. That was one of the worst I had.

Yeah I burnt my ankle on my dad's motorcycle exhaust. Fuker didn't even warn me and it was my first time on a bike. I was maybe 10 years old.... douche. haha

Looks rough man, hang in there. hope it heals up for ya

Worst burn I had was black gun powder... screwing around one new years making home made firecrackers... Im here to tell you being scalded by hot hoses and pipes is a cake walk compared to powder burn. I had to keep my hand submerged in glass of ice water for about 15 hours.... otherwise the throbbing was intolerable and I have a high pain threshold...

I also remember trying to roll a log onto a camp fire. Turns out the log was burning underneath and had rolled off the fire. Come to think of it... I may have prevented a forest fire.

i built a bumper for my truck for off roading. i just finished welding the bracket. i got up to get something i forget. but i picked up the bumper and carried it by the weld about 10' and I felt extreme pain. I dropped the bumper and ran to grab ice. i'll never forget that smell of burnt flesh.

you know what it smells like?

Chicken hahaha! I was crying in pain and laughing at my dumb ass at the same time. beers and welding don't mix. for me any way.

Nick, do you have pictures of your bumper? My dad owns a welding/fabricating shop and is designing one for my younger brother's truck. Also my dad is converting me into a Jeep enthusiast so we're into the off roading thing

No. that things long gone. it was on an 86 s-10 blazer 8" lift. got rid of it in the late 90's. all it was. was an 2 x 6 x 1/4" steel tube with 3/8 steel bar for brackets. I did weld d- rings on. they came in handy.

i did build a nice one for my old 93 250. i bent 3/16 steel to shape of original front bumper. looked like one you would buy now online. but unfortunately this was before cell phones took pics lol. we were still chirping people with 2 way Nextel. I have pictures laying around somewhere but nothing in detail. that one needed alot of gussets I remember. that's where the strength comes from. a Plymouth voyager an attest to that. f 250 went 2 and 0.
