Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well 13 year old grandson wanted to try welding.
I was building a step rail for inside only 4 steps.
So I figured old enough.
No gloves, wrong everything to wear, but a nice helmet.
He did good for a novice. Hard to see but he did manage to write his name .

I always get claustrophobic with the hood down :realcrazy: Could be why I preferred stick welding :lol:
At least every few minutes I got to tilt it up for some air and daylight to change sticks :lol:
Tried the "auto shade" didn't help :lol:
