I was betting the same thing. Was going to go pick it up, but I don't need another project LOL

Looks like it is because I have a similar box, but older. Just want to make sure before committing. http://shreveport.craigslist.org/tls/4053812488.html

Does the number of Arc sensors matter? I see this one has 4, whereas some other hoods have 2-3? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2

Nobody has experience with this helmet compared to others??

I have my eye on this helmet: http://store.cyberweld.com/hohoweheblxv1.html?utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_source=pricegrabber after having some serious eye fatigue and minor headaches after using my Harbor Freight helmet for the first time. Do you guys find this hood to be comparable to some...

I have taken the outer black metal boarder and sanded and painted it in a glossy black, so it looks MUCH better. Here are some updated pics. 2013-05-04 10.15.26 by fultzc50 2013-05-04 10.16.06 by fultzc50

Thanks for the recommendations guys. The speedglas seems to have great reviews. Yes, I plan on getting a tank and solid wire sometime this week. I'll probably look that their welding hoods also. Do you guys recommend a mix or single gas for just hobby welding, mostly steel? Sent...

I will give it another try on a darker shade setting. I think I had it on 10 or so for the most part. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2

It's impossible to see from that picture, but I did weld the short piece to the latch that actually is facing down after inserting through the loop in the trailer gait. That latch you see in the pic above is actually holding the gait closed. :thumbup: Haha thanks man! Yeah, my wife is actually...

So...The first project I tackled was my dad's broken trailer gait latch. The latch that holds the drop-down gait up was broken and gone on one side and he has just been using a bungee cord :lol_hitti I found some rusty metal, cleaned it up with a grinder to knock all the rust off, measured and...

I ordered 6 pair yesterday...Should go well with my new welding setup.

Yeah, I am noticing a slight headache at the moment. It's the same feeling headache I get with other sources of bright light. I will see how the rest of the night goes, however it's about a 1 on the pain scale of 1-10...so not bad. I will for sure look into some better helmets. Yeah, I did...

I will definitely check that website out as I dig into learning. Thank you for the birthday wish and the compliments. I went to HF this morning and actually bought their cart and their auto-darkening helmet. I know it's not anywhere near the best, but I just welded for several hours and it...

So, yesterday for my birthday, my wife bought me a very good gift. I have been talking about wanting to get a good hobby welder for various auto and misc. projects for some time now. She was listening all this time! Anyway, she bought me a Hobart 210 MVP. I really like the option to have both...

Great! So we can just wire it up with a standard 115v plug and make sure the circuit is sufficient?
