When you're tacking sheetmetal together you do a little weld here, a little over there, a little in the middle, back over here, back over there, some farther along. Its nice to be able to reposition...
But what I was really comparing it to was the crappy mask they give you that you have to hold with one hand while you try to work. A real mask is so much better. -Curt Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:35:32 -0800 From: "Alex Chamberlain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Welding day To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Dec 28, 2007 2:28 PM, Curt Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh and for you amatuer welders out there: a self darkening welding helmet > makes ALL the difference in the world. > Why's that? Just because it's faster than flipping up and down an ordinary mask to inspect your work? (Not trying to argue, just about to start welding myself and interested in getting off on the right foot... although, having seen some of my soldering handiwork, Jim may feel free to point out there's no right foot for me where fire and metal are involved.)
