Happy to do this as well, but I would like to push the social side too.

Many people are good at using some sort of welding shield b ut as
they're all a bit temporary they sometimes leak. Non-welders may not
be sufficiently aware that they shouldn't look at the arc (oooh, shiny
spark!) and when the workshop is shared it's good practise to keep
people informed. Some tutors will instruct you to shout 'EYES' or
something equally short every time you start a weld.

It would be good to encourage welders to make a bit more of a fuss.
don't assume other people know enough to avoid you. It really won't
hurt to go around the space and explain - even if it's just 'don't go
in the workshop, i'm welding' (and a bit more thorough explanation of
how to avoid eye damage for the workshop users who don't wish to
leave).

I saw some discussion about long periods of anglegrinding on IRC
today. A bit of consideration and apology when your activity impacts
others is not a bad social skill.
