A buddy of mine put a can of beanie weenies in the rod oven one cold wintry morning and I just happened to be the one walking by when it blew up.
It exploded so hard it blew the door open. Scared the shit out of me and ruined all the rods.
Our boss made a new rule that if you got caught putting food in there you could just get your shit and go home, lol.

Yeah working with old timers is great. They have such great stories and wisdom. Don't put a can of beans in the oven will have to remember that protip in the field.

Couldn't you just puncture a few holes on the top then put it in the oven?

I actually have wanted to at least get into engineering as a hobby to try and design some various simple cheap stuff to save money.
Mostly music equipment like effect pedals but possibly even instruments one day. Very interesting stuff to me and it is becoming a huge market.
Boutique pedals can easily go for like 200-500$ depending on a few things like if they are vintage/ clones using vintage parts. Some are pretty simple.

That's cool man. Electronics is everywhere these days. I have like a million pet projects but I never finish anything that I don't have to.
The thing I have been thinking the most about is designing an herb vaporizer/blower like the volcano basically, but scaled down. I'm tempted to just reverse engineer that one, but I think if I got really geeky about design with materials, heating elements, and I would really like to make it with a plc but I am just alot more comfortable with analog.

I did some welding on my old Jeep. It wasn't pretty, after it was done I actually burned some large holes in the tub that I had to fill with silcone

I weld , mostly GMAW GTAW mostly mild steal some stainless. I'm a production welder right now. Build lots of the same parts every few days I get a new job to weld. To much mask time right now. But that's my own thang. 3 and 4 G certificate in all processes the 1 IN plate is a bitch. Keep your head out of the cloud and be prepared for at least one divorce . I've got welds in a nuclear power plant before I lost my mind. X ray welds are fun.
Try to get in one of the unions in a few years. Get some experience first and move on to the next job.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
