Guzzy Build

[ALTRDTJ]

Reaction time for going dark is where your gonna find it better in the more expensive hoods.

I trust my eyes to nothing but my 3M speedglas welding hood. Pricey but has been going strong for the last 8 years!

I agree, one day I want to get a nice hood.

Same here, although some days are less busy than others. I've been eating lunch while working, then stepping out to the garage for a break.

I figure eventually it will be slow enough on a few afternoons for that. Still waiting for those days haha.

This has been my routine as well. Just kinda float in and out. It helps my computer is literally 5 ft from the garage.
