Les see my Father managed to ground out a circuit with his wedding band; left a nice spark gouge in the ring and a circular burn on the finger.

I used to wear my ring in the shop; but holding tongs wore through them at a fairly fast clip---I have had 4 sterling silver wedding rings so far.

Now I tend to not wear it save on "social" occasions.
