[TheForge] Re: welding heat

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Andy;
Before I fell for those cheating automatic arc helmet lense systems...I 
used to use Gold  vapor deposit  faced tinted  lense plates. They come 
in the standard large and small arc helmet window sizes and are fairly 
inexpensive.  At the time they also came in lighter shades. The 
replaceable cover plate that goes over them  protects the fragile gold 
surface.
There are regular, off the shelf welding goggles that take the std small 
arc welding style lense..no problem. Rigging up the lense mount from an 
old arc helmet, and maybe even the head gear too...then using the vapor 
deposit lense system a the cheap way to do it. Could be done more simply 
too.
How bout a  pull down, lense frame assembly mounted on the front of the 
forge  frame?..Gets it off your face...........Pete
