Scary stuff. Took a piece of old exhaust heat shield and tried to do a couple of spot welds. Never touched a welder in my life. I think once I get over being nervous and can keep my hand steady it'll be okay. All I have to do is tack weld a battery tray onto the support. What's hard is trying to see. Is it possible the helmet I'm using is too dark. Oh yeah, only blew 1 hole in it.

Practice on things that dont matter cut up little hunks of sheet metal, and practice welding on them
practice on these little bit in odd positions, where you cant actually see what your welding Then when you get good at that, weld the things that count |
