Scary stuff. Took a piece of old exhaust heat shield and tried to do a couple of spot welds. Never touched a welder in my life. I think once I get over being nervous and can keep my hand steady it'll be okay. All I have to do is tack weld a battery tray onto the support. What's hard is trying to see. Is it possible the helmet I'm using is too dark. Oh yeah, only blew 1 hole in it.

I'm not as good as a professional, certified contract welder, but I've got 6 years' experience... You're up in the Bako, hm? I could make a venture out there possibly and give you some tips. Also if you don't have one already, get an auto-darkening helmutt. Those are the shit, makes welding a lot easier because you don't have to stop and flip up your visor to make sure you welded okay... or started in the right spot... or any number of things for that moment you're blind.
