Hi, I've had a comment about welding without a mask , this is a common practice and is used by fabricators everywhere give or take a few, obviously we all close our eyes, the light from the arc burns skin like the suns rays, If your unlucky to have a flash (arc eye)it's like sand in your eyes,you will make shure it will not happen again, a welders cap is ideal dip your head when you tack weld the peak will shield you eyes and face, use a instant darkening face mask, use sun block on face.

Hi vutEwa, try a course at college first to see if you like it, you'll get good advice and if you it, then buy some tools but start with simple things first, thanks dave.

Dave, I love your vids and i fabricate alot of things based on your ideas with my own flare . I would like to see you wear some more safety items though . Noone wants welders flash that hurts like H*%*

hey dave, i thought your chair was so cool i just had to make my own version as a valentines present for the wife, i'll post a video response in a few days when the paint's fully dried. it's not exactly the same but based on the same chassis, i think you'll like it.
