Life phases

[VinnieJones]

I bought these boots on e-bay for cheap (final bid was $15.51 with $9 shipping).



They are Work One, with metatarsal protection and an Alpha 1, Biltrite sole which will withstand up to 300 degrees C.

I had my first metalworking class yesterday. It was very encouraging. The instructor has a masters degree in metallurgy, and one in materials science. He is near to finishing his PhD in education as well. I did quite a bit of welding on the farm 20 years ago, and it came right back to me like riding a bike. We worked on oxy acetylene welding for about an hour, and if I must say it myself, I had some sexy looking welds. The class is full, with about 10 people in it. The most dangerous thing so far has been the other people in the class. They quite frequently shower me with bits of hot metal. :)

Well, these definitely aren't as sexy as the bottom of the three you had linked earlier, but you really can't complain about the price.
