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...  Oh and while your at it can you remove the dog from his choke collar that I welded onto the car bumper  Although - I don't weld, in talking with others who do, there really is more of a feel to it vs. seeing it  Good Luck in your practice sessions

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.
