Been cutting and welding up some new hangers for the engine mounts. The owner of the welding shop had to run an errand, so I kept at it. He mentioned theres the shield have at it. Thought to my self, nicely I can weld as great as the next man. Furthermore I get the possibility to use one particular of these fancy &quotself darkening&quot welding shield’s for the very first time. I know they’ve been close to for ever before, I am alittle slow catching up with the new technological innovation. So I change the head band, drop the shield and allow her rip. Dang that arc is bright!!!!! So I feel it has to be ME and maintain on welding by way of my tightly squinted eyes. Now I am thinkin to myself, how can this be far better than the &quotold way&quot? Following about 6 inches of closing the seam, I give up simply because I cannot see a thing now. The owner walks back in and asked how was I carrying out? Properly not well worth a sh-t and I detest your fancy welding shield. What is wrong with it he ask’s? I said it is way also brilliant, I can’t see through the arc! Of course then he ask’s the evident, did you turn it on? What flip it on, you indicate it really is acquired an on/off change? I dislike &quotnew engineering&quot!!!! Yep sometimes it just pays to stay with what you know. Guess that implies I will be sleeping with raw potato slices on my eye lids tonight. Frank
