Seems like my electric welding days have come to a end, I just had surgery for a CRT-D, strongly recommended that I dot use electric welding equipment

I'm sorry to hear that also. Is it like a Pacemaker, if so stay away from magnets, I'm told.

Sorry to hear that China but don't let it stop you - just divert you.
As others have said, there's still plenty to do in the shed including O/A welding and brazing.
All the best

If you need the odd welding job done give us a yell, I'm in the southern foothills.

To answer the question yes it is like a pacemaker with resynchronisation also shock capability, re magnets only powerful units such as wrecking yards etc. otherwise 600mm away and be careful if bending over a running car engine
Yes still plenty of things to do especially with my Woodwork and jewellery and yes still have O/A welding, bit disappointed But I will get over it.

China you must have needed it recently friend & neighbour went in for blader removal only to tind they had also inserted a Pacemaker due to problems found during the 6hr surgery.
He was also told no more electric welding, be caeefull near microwaves also around WiFi/Bluetooth saturated areas EMFs pose problems. Many moons ago another mate weho had one fitted often found when driving under high tension power lines the EMFs would send him a flutter. Thats over 30yrs ago a replacement fixed that. He still could not be with in 20ft of welding.
Heres hoping it fixes you problem brings you new found health. Seems you have good mates willing to lend a hand when required.

I have never come across this before but I wonder if a grounded foil vest would be enough protection.
Kind of like a "tin foil hat" as suggested by some conspiracy theorists.
I had bit of a look, but the stuff on the web seems to saturated with info from the tin foil hat brigade, floggers of anti-EMF jocks, and belly protectors for pregnant women!
To be anti magnetic, tin is of no value anyway as all magnetic shields have to be magnetic.
So it would have to be an iron or nickel shield.
There's an interesting semi flexible material out there called Giron, which says it works up to 1kHz so it would work for stick welding
I sort of envisage a "robot from lost in space" costume of some sort
Would be a bit awkward and fairly hot inside, the shield itself will get warm from absorbing the magnetic radiation, kind like an induction stove
Please dont take this as any kind of endorsement - just wondering.

For CRT-D (defibrillator) I would not risk electric welding.
The problem is that welding causes a huge amount of electrical noise.
The noise can be picked up by the debrillator. It can look like ventricular fibrillation (VF) to the defib and it may shock you. This can be rather unpleasant and unnecessary shocks may be dangerous.
A pacemaker (no defib) is a bit different. It cannot shock you. It is to protect from slow heart rates. The pacemaker may interpret noise as the heart beating by itself, in which case it will just watch. If your heart is not actually beating and you need the pacemaker actively stimulating the heart at that moment, you may have issues - including passing out. Can still be dangerous to you.
