welding in the bathtub?

admin

First off, yes. It is obvious I am single. LOLIt is bloody windy today and I have a little project I want to finish before I drive to work tomorrow, I have a Jeep, the doors are off, and my coffee cup won't fit in the console, so I want to make a hinge mounted beverage holder.I have the rings rolled, the straight pieces cut, everything clean and ready to tack up.So I figure what about doing it all in the tub?Its enamel coated steel, built in fume extraction and fire suppression.Obviously I would risk losing my cleaning deposit, and maybe catch my shower curtain on fire, by why not?Aside from UV reflection, any real risks?
Reply:I don't see any problem, as long as the tub is filled with nice cold water beforehand, almost freezing works best.
Reply:I was thinking filled with chlorinated brake cleaner would work better.

Reply:Originally Posted by OldendumI can sympathize.  I had an old Toyota pickup with a stick shift and no power steering for years.  No radio and no beverage holder.  I found that on the commute home from work, I could hold the beer between my legs while I shifted or avoided some other nut job on the roads of NJ.  It did have a sliding camper window, so I could ditch cans into the back.  Don't want them rolling under the brake or clutch pedal, you know.

Reply:"So I figure what about doing it all in the tub?"Yes, a good place.  And on top of the washing machine with an unbalanced load of clothes on spin cycle is a hoot too.
Reply:Oh c'mon now! Back in the day before it got strict I could drink a beer, smoke a cigarette, shift gears and feel up my girlfriend at the same time! The only thing that changed now is it's coffee instead of beer till I get home! Gotta learn to multitask bro! I hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
