Why is the welding hand funny?
If I were to guess it serves two purposes:
- To dampen the reaction when absolutely wailing on some piece of shit steel that warped
- Accidentally getting welded to things
Edit: I looked it up! Number 1 is correct! Also, they're used to remove slag
Maybe something to do with insulating your hand from the heat maybe? But then again maybe not because don't welders usually use gloves anyways?
A metal handle doesnt burn or melt.
No but it takes a long time for heat to conduct up a coil vs a straight line. That's why woodstove handles are often coiled.
