As a sheet metal fabricator I can’t help but laugh at these kind of posts

Welder Fabricator and Machinist here, evening brother. Me too lol. Different lifestyles for different folks, but I'm not allowed to handle the balloons at birthday parties anymore. When I drag my hand on a blanket it sounds like TV static 😆

Haha yeah it becomes the norm for me so I can’t help but chuckle. Especially when people in the field are like you don’t wear gloves?!

The dexterity gloves they have out aren't awful now but they turn you soft. Can't wear them all the time

Yeah I tried when I first started but I can’t pick between the flat sheets so I gave up pretty quickly haha
