The best way to get good at welding, is just practice. I had a buddy come over and spend a whole day teahcing me how to weld, and I'm getting better, but practice is key. I alos liked the auto dimming lenz helmelt he brought. I need one of those!

I like the idea of those auto dimming helmets, pretty cool, but if you weld a lot, I've heard they're not the safest way to go.

I work in construction (management), and most of our welders won't use them. Although, a lot of the rookies do. One old guy told me he wouldn't use them because of the long term damage to his eyes.

It takes (approx) 1/500th of a second for the lense to dim after it senses the strike. That means for every 500 strikes, you have one full second of exposure to your eyes. Perhaps this is a bit anal, but makes sense to me.

With a bit of practice, the old head nod will bring your standard helmet down into position. Heck, it even looks cool if do it right

Those things aren't cheap either. In the $200 range.
