Re: Any welders on gs?
I have done a bit of welding in my time...
Its blinding alright if you don't cover your face. Thing is you can't see anything through the mask so you have to sort of position yourself and then in one synchronous movement start welding and move the mask in front of the eyes. If you happen to see the arc it is indeed an "*experience that you cannot forget".. *at least for the next hour or so there will be constant parade of stars.
Lots of fun...
