Anything welding

I know people who use them and like them, just with me that bit of delay fucks with my eyes. I gave mine to a buddy who used it for a few years and liked it. I've been using a free one I got with my welder, I think it's at tweco, they retail for around $70 I think.

 

Not a bad deal!

 

Thanks for the recomendations guys. Ive worked with a welder who liked the harbor freight hoods but i i just dont know if i can trust the saftey of my eyes to a harbor freight product because my eyes are already pretty bad. After i posted i alao remembered one of our welders telling me he wouldnt get a hood with less than 4 sensors. So after research the HF and oher options inended going wiht an Antra hood:

Antra AH5-350-001X Solar Power Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Carbon Fibre with AF350 Large Viewing Size 3.78"X2.07" Variable Shade 4/9-13 with Grinding Feature Extra lens cover Arc Tig Mig Plasma

That's what I thought too. Then I saw Jody on Welding Tips & Tricks talk about it. He didn't have anything bad to say about it.

Glad you found something that'll work for you!

 

Ha ha! Just had to bust your balls a bit

 

Getting there...

 

And I was being pissy

 

I just can't justify it to myself to spend the money on one. Though I've been using a speedglass one for pewter lately and am very tempted.

 

It's looking good Derek.

 

Are those 35s?

 

The hell happened with the gun?

 

No, 33. 285/75R16

 

This is my first pewter counter top I've led from beginning to end, with help form a few guys in the shop. The guy who used to do all the pewter counter tops got let go, I've helped on a couple but haven't been much involved, there's a huge learning curve compared to other metals. It's very soft so in certain aspects it's easy to work with but at the same time causes difficulties. Welding .0625 vertical on a corner with proper penetration to keep from cracking once it's been blended out is not easy, let alone not blowing the entire corner away.

 

Holy shit! That counter top is beautiful!

 

Thanks, it's definitely rewarding after we finish, especially this one since I installed it also, it's nice to see the finished product installed in a finished home, really brings it out. Everything is made in house, including hand hammering all the dimples, luckily I don't do that

 

One of my coworkers not giving a shit

 

Lookin good!

 

That's a great looking bumper.
