[@luisrosales3430]

Do you need a welding license or degree?

[@Landis_Grant]

One mistake and there goes two of your fingers!

[@Prince-fn7ff]

Would love to do this if heights didn't scare the crap out of me

[@andy_182]

You gotta pretend it’s an illusion

[@SnD340]

Pretending is the last thing you should do. You should actually accept that you are crazy high off the ground and a simple mistake can end in injury or death. Once you've accepted that what you are doing is fucking crazy. It's easier to overcome. There is no pretending or illusion.

[@SnD340]

Eyes on the prize

[@Prince-fn7ff]

@@SnD340 I like that. Great way to look at it.

[@Landis_Grant]

@@SnD340Don’t be a high wire ironworker if you’re married with a wife and several young kids to feed and raise. It’s a great job for a single guy.
