[@michaeltelemachus5112]

Very good. Doesn't using the welder without proctection damage your eyes though?

[@sixtyfiveford]

For tack welding you close you eyes for the split second you weld. It's a very common practice as you can position the parts exactly where they need to be. Kicking your helmet down will generally shift the parts and you can't be as precise. It's not ideal and you can get welders flash if you did it non stop for hours. You won't get hurt from a few dozen tack welds though.

Welding and tacking are a different beast. I wouldn't lay down a bead without my helmet on, but it's impossible to get a precision tack without just using eyelids.

[@BBB-dd2sf]

Great video! I'm a beginner with my Hobart 140 and I cringed when you bare-handed the metal while the tip was hot. Didn't know you could do that without taking a shock. You ever use straight CO2 gas?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks. I bare hand most of the time and have never received a shock in 20+years of welding. I will wear a glove on my non trigger hand if I'm going long runs but virtually never on my trigger hand. You loose to much dexterity and control. CO2 works great and is inexpensive. You just can't quite weld as thin of material, but you can weld thicker than Argon/CO2(C25)
