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 always have a hard time seeing the puddel....a littel orange-red shiny spot down in the middel of the smoke and fire. Changed glasses and added shades for my wire feed and it is O.K. If you can see the puddel try to lead it around with your heat.
