What is it?

When I run out of suture material I often close a wound by welding it shut.......

 

I use black powder from a 5.56 round to cauterize my wounds, then staple them shut with a carpenter's stapler.

 

Don't get your fingers caught in the apex of the stapler 'cause that could HURT!

 

I should have known that one. I worked for a piping company cutting pipe for 3 years so the welders and fitters could assemble the flanges and what not. I knew I'd seen those before. I suck.

 

I remember seeing a bumper sticker in the early 1980s that said: "Welders can fill any crack." Somehow your reply reminded me of that.

 

Red's protesting.......

 

I said whoever wanted to could take my turn, go for it amigo

 

It's a fire poker
