I have a fairly new Miller Elite Big Window that has the same theme as the Miller T-bucket projects from a few years ago that I hardly ever use. I generally grab the old Huntsman that has been on my head for close to 20 years now and half a dozen headgear replacements. I get teased a lot by some of my buddies that have the new fancy helmets because I don't use my new one. I tell them the helmet doesn't make the weld but most aren't listening. Mike.

Northern Tool Cheapo autodark. $50 during a drive to Tenn .... paid for itself it's first day outta the box. There might be a difference between it and a $250 mask ... but I've never noticed any.

That's mine.
Goes dark when I strike, stay clear when I look, also stays clear when I grind, came with a pair of gloves, and it only took 60$ out of my wallet... And it meets the latest certifications(afaik).

I can't draw a stick man, so yeah... no art on mine.

Here's what mine looked like when I got it 11 years ago.

Now it's all scratched and charred.

Mine does the job. And of course it works even better with some One Shot thrown at it!

For those of us that don't weld every day, I think the auto darkening is the rat's ***!

Thanks Blaze. I originally set out to built rod storage area using round cardboard tubes I've been saving for years. Then I realized that I had a lot of aluminum downspout left over from my garage build. That would make better use of the small space...

Here are mine....2 hoods-hard hat type(1 w/auto darkening filter) for work & my 25+ year old Huntsman. They're not pretty, but do the job.

Here are my two. The Miller Big Window Elite is my newest one but I hardly use it. It is nice, it is just that I usually grab my old trusty Huntsman hood. It is just over twenty years old and it goes back with me to many, many projects. Mike.
