One of my Triumph Club buddies treated himself to a new, adjustable,
auto-darkening welding hood (helmets sit on TOP of our heads), and he
insisted that I try it out. It's "infinitely" adjustable between #7 and
#14 shade. Since the general unavailability of shade# that I prefer
had, previously, been my main reason for never getting one for myself,
this unit was a pleasant surprise.
TIP has them on sale, until 1/31, at $179 (regularly $199). After 40
years of welding without one (auto-darkening screen, that is) I finally
broke down and ordered one, as I've got a whole boat-load of welding to
do this winter.
I'm also going to make up a cover/cloth to Velcro to the hood, which
will keep light (from my overhead shop lights) from coming into the
welding hood from behind. I've just been using a leather "bib" for that
purpose, and it makes a world of difference.
