Welding
 

taking a welding class so I can actually make a good weld for a change lol.

Dawg....find out what the best welding helmet is. My welding really sucks and I think it's because I can't really see what I'm doing with my cheap helmet.

not for nothing. but i dont weld what i see i go by feel and sound more then sight. just a tip.

OK....I'll practice more and not try to focus so much on what I'm looking at.

Sweet, I can see it now:

Honey can you help me out... I'm not sure why there is a beer can welded to my eye glasses but could you take that pair of nips and cut a whole through it so I can see...:megaman:

Oh and while your at it can you remove the dog from his choke collar that I welded onto the car bumper:shiftyeyes:

Although - I don't weld, in talking with others who do, there really is more of a feel to it vs. seeing it:Superman: Good Luck in your practice sessions:mariosmile2:

LOl probly my problem too ( i got an elcheapo weld helmet)
Miller sells some real nice ones for a couple hundred bucks.
autodarkening

I merged these posts from another thread so people could get some tips on welding if needed :)

yeah i say a helmet will help you if your starting out. all i look for is the puddle control the rest is feel. if its spitting dragging etc. thats all feel.

And yes, autodarkening helmets are a great plus!
But, like pizza said, feel/sound is the key ;)

harbor freight sells an auto darkening helmet for $35-$50 depending on the sale of the week... definitely worth it.
