[TheForge] Re: Automatic welding lens

[Dann Johnson]

Made my first arc welds more than 40 years ago.  I "glued" a lot of steel to 
gether,  certainly NOT bragging that all of it  stayed  "glued" under 
stress. I was a farm boy, self taught, with lots of trial and error.  Welded 
way to much "delecate" stuff without  the helmet .. just because.  Now I 
believe "for me",  that the "worst" auto helmet is better than the best 
"nod" flip helmet for that very reason.
I bought an Auto welding helmet back 4 or so years ago when it was a topic 
on this list.   With that and a new ac/ dc welder, my welds look "prettier" 
and hopefully stronger. Have not used my "good" even once since getting the 
auto helmet.
