Ken I said:
Those autodarkening helmets are fast but not lightspeed fast - they protect you from the UV but you still get momentarilly flash blinded in the split second it takes to darken.

You learn to do a slow blink as you strike the arc - when you open your eyes the helmet has darkened.

Just a tip - 2c

Great looking welds & welder by the way.

Thanks Ken,

I have been using one at work since 1991. They are lighting fast now compared to when speed glass first came out back then! Many , many, many rolls of wire looking through one. Maybe that's why I'm half blind now :big:
 
Here is the "FREE" welding table I made from scrap. Waiting for 4" casters to show up, then a little buff with the wire wheel and a squirt of paint and it will be ready. Still haven't decided on a shelf in it yet. Maybe a rod to hang C-clamps and such.
