You did a brilliant job of welding the aluminium considering it was your first attempt. As I told you with a little practice you will be expert. I will post a photo of your first ever attempt at ally welding if you don't mind. The welding face shield is a great product and works very well, it is also very reasonably priced. I will make a another thread about it I think because it will help many people I think. When I do please comment about your impression of it. I hope my explainations about shaping metal and wheeling and why things are done in certain ways traditionally were helpfull to you all. I hope I will get to meet you all again. I really enjoyed having you here. David

Hi David,
No problem with showing my first attempt at welding, it wasn't too bad, but when it sits next to yours, then you can see the difference of what 30 years of experience has. When you get a chance to show pics of the welding, it will show how narrow your weld bead was, with full penetration and with half the filler rod compared to mine, I would have thought tig welding would offer a narrower bead, because of range of adjustments you have at your finger tips, but that may be just my technique, not the process. Also, one of things I wasn't sure of was when setting the soft flame for Ali welding is that you have 2 flame cones, did you weld with the short hot flame or the longer soft flame?

One and the same. It's a shame about the original thread but the visors are great so I intended to start another thread to show people how good they are. Thanks for the original post it's made my life easier having one of these visors. David

Hi David - I see that there is a Shade-3 and Shade-5 available, which one do you have?
Also please advise as soon as you have details of your courses, I'd love to attend one - will have to raid the kids' piggy banks to buy some pounds.. |

Now I can buy a visor for twenty quid that does what the glasses do for ten times that much I can reconsider getting some small oxy acetylene welding gear again. It was the cost of the glasses that broke the camel's back last time around.
Thanks for the info. Martin
