Warrior Welding LLC shop.

Not a pipe welder. Today I played one. Outside the shop work. Firetruck fabrication.

Got to have the hood to do pipe I guess! 😆

More I worked at it the better it got....but pipe and stainless is my hardest welding to master.

On a serious note is it just an old school vibe or trend to wear fixed shade hoods or pancakes as opposed to an auto? Or is there legitimacy to it all??

Good question. I have both and had both at the shop at this time. The auto shade ate its batteries. It kill them and I'm about ready to shelve it. Fixed lens in a high quality glass still beat any tech hands downs for clarity.

And for the sugar scoop. I was set up and kept getting to much back light from the shop lighting. LEDs rock but not in the back of your hood. The scoop blocked more light and I don't own a pancake set (yet!).....the scoop also fits hard hat rigs much better and offer much better protection. My hard hat clips in and out in seconds. I want own another hood without a flip lens either, which the scoop also sports. The scoop isn't a fancy carbon unit but I swear the hard hat head gear wears better and breathes a little. Plus it's huge and will hold a bunch of stickers😜

Edit: I can buy multiple scoops for what I paid for one of my auto battery eaters.
Edit number two: you can scrub the crap out of a uncoated glass lens, not so much the gold coated units. Electronic helmet the product can't be cleaned with much. Maybe a soft eye glass cloth. Just short of forgetting to cover them with a cover plate or dropping them they last forever. I had some old stock with probably twenty years on them. Little glass cleaner and rocked them.

Former student nailed the plasma work on this plate. I executed the small bores. The center shape and slot was perfect. Remember MudPro? Well this fellas machine and setting would give him a run for his money, lol! Love em both!

Before finishing the Eurotech machine I went and modded a good ol American iron hay bailer, Ford.

Some beef to wrap the axle with.

Little bracing and we now have wagon hitch.

Probably ranks with one of the hardest places I've crammed my head into to weld. Wasn't weld porn but it ain't coming loose.

One hundred percent 7018 if any body is wondering. Same for the European built unit above.
