I'm sure he has created antibodies to protect him from zinc fumes and red hot weld spatter on his feet. Or something. I'm no biologist.

Note also that he never wears or uses dark shaded glasses or a welding hood for his eyes and he has probably been doing this most of his life.

Not likely, I've met several of those guys, who have been welding without any PPE all their lives One guy I met was in his 70s and still didn't need glasses. to use tip cleaners to clean his cutting torch tip. The pupils and irises of their eyes are coal black you can't tell where the Iris ends and the pupil begins.

A Donaldson muffler for a truck is made out of 22 gage the tubes are 16ga so there's probably not a whole lot of difference.

I guess in a world without excessive rules, regulations and do-gooders screaming "you can't do that", basic tools, talent and experience still get things done.

These videos showing people working on the floor in what we consider beach clothes are always interesting to watch. Especially seeing how the "old master" is teaching the young apprentice.
