Random welding tip
Making another dolly for a tub and the plastic lens on the outside of my helmet was in rough shape. That and don't use acetone to clean it. Had some 1/8" plate glass on hand so I cut a small pane out of it and and into the helmet. While you have to be a little more careful with the helmet, glass makes a huge difference in seeing over even brand new plastic. It was striking how much better I could see. Definitely worth the 10 minutes it took to make the glass lens.

Great welding. I've been trying to get one of these made, can you do it?

That’s one of Shaun’s, you can tell by his signature “S” on the top/bottom bar.

I have a pack of clear glass 2x4.25 for my hood. Put one on the inside and out. The inside is overkill.
