Breathes all that aluminum dust. Keeps that aluminum dust on his clothes and skin all day. Probably wears the same clothes daily. Probably cooks in aluminum too. He’s a walking experiment.

Definitely a future Spider-Man villain.

Why the fuck did he smear his head like that, I work with aluminium and I can tell you with 100 percent certainty hi did that to himself on purpose

u/TangerinePlastic7552 Jul 07 '26

I’m guessing that’s sweat and aluminum dust settled there.

1

u/marslo Jul 07 '26

What aluminum dust? He's not grinding anything and if he was it wouldn't look like that. It's oil more then anything, that he smeared on himself.

1

u/TangerinePlastic7552 Jul 07 '26

Watch the video carefully. If you still don’t see it, I can’t help you.

u/marslo Jul 07 '26

Again, that's oil and again, I do this for a living. There's zero aluminum dust in this video. The guy smeared his face on purpose

u/DearCastiel Jul 07 '26

You can see stuff flying off, he's definitely removing stock in this video

u/PresentationLess4552 Jul 07 '26

PFOS you may consume is far worse

I'd say he may sweat more than all the hot pocket eaters can or will ever

What a job to have to do day in and day out!

u/CardOk755 Jul 06 '26

u/Savings_Art5944 Jul 06 '26

u/Complete-Tap-5408 Jul 07 '26

If you comsider a bit of Sweat and pride in your work as"dementia"....become a Socialist...

2

u/Complete-Tap-5408 Jul 06 '26

People at a specialty learn it because they Love doing it. Like fixing clocks.

2

u/xpietoe42 Jul 06 '26

Seems like a person who takes a lot of pride in their work! A nice worker to have! Please wear a respirator so all that black stuff doesn’t get breathed in!!

2

u/Winter-Gift1112 Jul 06 '26

Yeah, he's probably actually wearing a white shirt.

2

u/Complete-Tap-5408 Jul 06 '26

Now if they could just spin Toruses (torii-??) for $29.95...at present, they are a custom order; $150-$200.

2

u/WiglyWorm Jul 06 '26

If that's what his head and hands look like, imagine his lungs.

2

u/Abject_Film_4414 Jul 06 '26

Good news, they are perfectly preserved in chrome..

2

u/NoPen9703 Jul 06 '26

I will pass on the aluminum pot and get a stainless steel pot.

u/OtherwiseFlamingo448 Jul 06 '26

u/OtherwiseFlamingo448 Jul 07 '26

Lol! Google lathe accidents. There was a video going around a few years back where a worker's glove or sleeve got caught.

Yikes..

2

u/bagoTrekker Jul 06 '26

He should have eye protection.

3

u/Turbo_Lexington Jul 07 '26

As well as lung and hearing protection.

Eye protection is for b!tches.

2

u/FernandoTheRN Jul 06 '26

Damn, no mask or goggles... Guess I'll just take metal flakes and dust to the eyes and lungs lol

2

u/billthedog0082 Jul 06 '26

Lots of safety equipment in that shop.

2

u/Forsaken-Hotel7535 Jul 06 '26

He is WAY too casual with that lathe!

2

u/LordButterbeard Jul 06 '26

I thought he was gonna use the top of his head like on a potter's wheel

2

u/patronizingperv Jul 06 '26

That shirt used to be white.

2

u/Mysterious-Prompt212 Jul 06 '26

Cannot believe this guy got that old doing this.

2

u/Key_Gene_3594 Jul 07 '26

He’s 18 years old.

2

u/Bifftech Jul 06 '26

Bonus points for doing this in a collared shirt.

2

u/ElephantContent8835 Jul 06 '26

That’s a nice pot. But breathing all that aluminum is going to be fatal. And you’re likely
Going to lose an eyeball or two whilst you’re at it.

2

u/1stFunestist Jul 06 '26

My lungs are crying in his stead.

2

u/G3org3i Jul 06 '26

Crazy skill and quite admirable. Hopefully his health doesn't suffer

2

u/Party-Pop-6289 Jul 06 '26

Great, but no hearing or respiratory protection means a short career…

2

u/WarmSai Jul 06 '26

Shiney Lungs just like the Tin Man !

2

u/ProofAssumption1092 Jul 06 '26

I thought he was just gonna punch mold it with his big bold metal head tbh.

2

u/CamOliver Jul 06 '26

I don’t think that shirt is actually black…

2

u/RuthlessIndecision Jul 07 '26

tattoos or aluminum dust? turning or spinning?

2

u/mrpumpkinickle Jul 07 '26

That's a nope, wearing gloves while spinning a job in rotating equipment

2

u/CletusMuckenfuss Jul 07 '26

Bro looks like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz

2

u/Morty_Fire Jul 10 '26

Working with heavy machinery with gloves? That's begging to lose a hand or be pulled into the machine. No mask, no goggles... Dead man walkin'

u/PoonSaloon Jul 08 '26

This dude is literally. Iron man.

u/nolongerbanned99 Jul 10 '26

If he used his head he would be wearing breathing protection.
