@organisys:

It amazes me that workers seem to get that close to molten metal on a routine basis?

I know, and it’s not like it’s only a little bit.

@neph93:

Slight change in the tour schedule. @organisys has had his share in the jacket bought by @DK. @DK is in the US and the jacket is due to head to Europe after @steelworker is done. Instead of delaying it's first transatlantic crossing and making @Aetas sad, @DK will go in at the end of the tour when it returns to the US. This means that everyone after @organisys on the original schedule moves up a month. It now looks like this:

Here's the schedule:

@Appfaff - US - January 2018
@JDelage - US - February 2018
@Fadez - US - March 2018
@Matty123 - US - April 2018
@steelworker - US - May 2018
@Aetas - GER- June 2018
@Cole - GER - July 2018
@Max Power - GER - August 2018
@Jordan23 - GER - Sept 2018
@Megatron1505 - UK - October 2018
@Alex  - UK - November 2018
@Giles  - UK - December 2018
@bryaneidins70 - UK - January 2019
@tmg  - UK - February 2019
@spitfiredealer  - UK - March 2019
@neph93 - NOR - April 2019
@scooter - US - May 2019
@DrBabyhorse  - US - June 2019
@DK - US - July 2019

This jacket is going to be epic at the end of the tour

Amazing again. It doesn’t get boring. It’s very post apocalyptic though.  What’s all the white stuff in the last two pics?

[steelworker]

That's lime.

@steelworker:

That's lime.

Nasty stuff.

What’s safety like on the job?

Management is always pushing safety  and holds regular safety meetings. They analyze and show the cause of accidents, they do a pretty good job.

That’s good to hear. Looks like it could be a pretty dangerous place to work.
