Will Eccleston has agreed to do a welding demo at the general meeting on Tuesday, May 30th! (weather permitting - this will be outdoors). If anyone has any welding helmets we could use that evening, that would permit more folks to watch at one time. The helmets need to be at least shade #10.
Also, wearing long pants and closed shoes, and bringing something like a leather jacket for extra coverage up top would be good as well if you want to really get close.
Thanks!

We actually have that one set goggles at the space (on the shelf above the laser) that should allow people to watch, although it would not protect their face.

I did about 10 minutes of welding once while wearing a short sleeve shirt. My arms ended up pretty red and tingly. ;P

Wimps! Just close your eyes when you strike the arc. I have frequently welded in shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops. The latter being the worst decision of the three.

Goggles are not useful. It took me 2 tries at "Hey, this is only a tiny weld, I don't need to put my leather jacket on, and/or I can do this in shorts" before I learned. Very serious sunburn (like, at least 2nd degree) happens in less than a minute. Gotta be a mask, and all skin covered. But everyone should plan to do some simple welding that night. It's not rocket surgery.

Unless we're welding rocket parts, in which case it is!

And all joking aside, proper protective gear is very important. I have a long history of sub-standard usage of it, and tend to take it a little too lightly. I have a MIG shield, and a MIG helmet that I can bring, if I remember. And I'll see if I have a mig lens for my TIG helmet as well. A pair of leather gloves and shoes that are solid leather are the least you should have, as well as covered arms and legs.

A rocket and a submarine are both on my list. I have actually done a bunch of plans for homebuild submarines already.

Hey Ian- it's a TIG welder, FYI. We'll be tigging.
