The Old Welder Comics shop tips safety and shop stories by Frank Tabor The man in back is an ornamental iron apprentice.  An apprentice is on the weldor's back trying to look through his helment as he welds.  Other workers comment.
"The man in the back is an ornamental iron apprentice."



While this looks like the ultimate in having someone look over ones shoulder having an experianced welder demonstrate welding to a student who is closely observing is a very good teaching method. However, the student should have his own helmet.

Having the student focus on a bead being made with proper technique, then the instructor coaching the student from the same distance can be very benificial. - anvilfire guru.
