Hell Yeah.

I'd never seen it in super-slo-mo before.

I especially got a kick out of the guy at the end, MIGing bare-handed with a cigarette. That could have been me.

Very cool! I was trying to identify globular versus spray transfer!

Amazing! Helps in the learning process to understand what happens at the end of the stick. Thanks.

Although it probably won't make me a better welder, it did take some of the mystery and magic out of the process for me.
That watery looking puddle kills me.
Note that some of those clips were shot at 10,000 frames per second and show what happens in a millionth of a second. That in itself is pretty amazing.
