I've got too many helmets. The 2 on the right are regular Selstroms. The other old one was my dad's, can't get rid of it now that he's gone.

Heres my Jackson auto. Good for arc too dark for me for mig.

Another one of mine, Lincoln Ranger 8 portable welder, ( gasoline powered).
It has a big loop on top, where I can pick it up and put it in the back of my truck when I need to.

Here's my stuff:

My stick welder, got it at an auction for $50. Works great and I can't describe how satisfying the sound it makes when you turn that power switch on! Anybody know why the 70A setting is circled? I don't.

My new 220v mig welder. I just got it set up for mig, I've only flux welded with it so far. I'm extremely happy with it, can't wait to mig!

My new helmet that I LOVE! I just upgraded from a ten year old flasher helmet. My advice, don't skimp on your welding helmet! A good one is safer and makes welding soooo much easier.

Here is my arsenal.I got an old HF helemet.I just got the New digital one,"Luckys Speed Shop" and the Plasma extreme a couple of weeks ago.There is my trusty Miller 210 and my much used now Makita Chop saw with the carbide blade.I havent had a chance to use the new helmet or the Plasma just yet.I am so used to using the old helmet and cutting metal the hard way I forget that I have them.

OK then. I guess I will have to take some pics of my hood and welders.

My hood is a huntsman with the big window. I have a jackson auto darkening lens in it. I bought this hood 18 years ago when I was an Ironworker.

As to weld machines I have a Hobart 135 and a Miller 212 and 2 miller 350 p's and 5 robots and 2 custom weld machines, you will need pics to understand, that cost around 2 million each.

No I am NOT joking, 2M each!

I will take pics and get them posted.

That 70 circled is probably the rating for doing 0.25 thick welding. ????

Just thought I'd post some pictures of my new welding helmet it's a Miller Ultra digital. 3 mode settings grinding, cutting, and welding. Adjustable shade from 3-13. And cool graphics. Cost less than a visit to the ER from burning your eyeballs up.

Bonehead should like this it has Skulls!

I'll have to get some photo's of the lincoln cv500's and 600's at work, and the old cigweld and even older plasma (at least thats what i think it is?)

As for helmets, i use your standard $25aus BOC flipface for crappy work, and have a $350aus Weldclass MACHII (grinding mode, shade 9-13) still in the box haha that i will begin using when i start doing TIG work, or a big job that needs both hands.

That helmet Bonehead has with the bone conrods has an awesome viewing window size by the way! Thats part of the reason i got the machII, most of the cigweld helmets have a viewing screen that's like looking out of the side windows of Tripper's tudor!!!!!!
