THANKS CHIPS. I've started welding outside now and I can see all I need now. Just have to lock the cat inside lest it go blind,Chips O'Toole wrote:I have had problems seeing what I'm doing. This lamp was helpful.

Also, smoke from the rods fogs up my mask pretty quickly. When I saw what was happening, I started cleaning it often. I guess I should turn on the fan when I stick weld.

I've realised it is better for beginners to start on thick metal, I was practicing on 3mm 1/8th sheet because most of my steel boat is such but I grabbed a big chunk of 4 inch X 4 inch by 6 inch and beaded it to death suddenly I'm producing edible beads and not in constant panic focused on speed, uncontrollable speed avoiding burn thru' now its: " oh look at the pretty ripples, gee look at my rod angle .... gee now I've got time to think.
Cheerio from Cape Cod,
