Welding Blind (Try This )

[@va7da]

Cateract surgery cured my “can’t see weld” problem that slowly progressed after 60 years of welding.
I mounted a cheap LCD forehead flashlight on my welding helmet for use in dark areas, also pop riveted a thin leather curtain to the back of the helmet for working with the sun behind me.

Hi David, great idea about flashlight.

I just looked at my plexiglass today. Also didn't know about recharging in the sun, assumed batteries were just replaceable. Thanks Pete!

Hi Justin , Yea mine needs to be recharged in sun every couple of days .Thanks for watching.

All good tips, and I learned something new- been welding since the eighties- just tried the sidelight trick, and jeez, does it make a difference!!!- Old dogs can learn new tricks!!!! (just went to Bunnings and bought a LED '300w' rechargeable spotlight just for welding!!!! about thirty bucks...)- I dare say it will come in handy elsewhere, but for the welding it is great...
