What ever happened to the time old tradition of holding everything in

You know what? I used to know a garage welder who protected his eyes by
squinting while MIG welding. I'm totally serious - he'd just squint and
weld away. I watched him do a whole patch on a fiesta this way. Couldn't
believe it.

I bought one off Ebay from a guy in this country for around £100.00
all in. The helmet itself is original from a down under company.
Never tried welding with anything else but it works a treat.

I got one from an internet welding supplies company for £69,
it works well.
