When I used a Fixed lens Welding. A high intensity flood light aiming at your work surface made it easier to start welds. You can keep your shield down and see your start point.
One thing I havent seen anyone talk about yet in regards to the panoramic helmets that I thought was significant, is I do a lot of unsupported overhead welding, and the extra peripheral vision you get greatly helped me with my balance.
LOL! Cool effects at the end; wasn't expecting that! Thanks for the comparison.
I have been using Jackson NexGen for over a decade, I'm sure its old tech by now but it was the closest to color to a fixed gold shade at the time. Also, I believe its still the lightest shell on the market.
Hey Justin! I have been watching your videos since I started welding at my trade school, and have been working on TIG for about 4 months now! Almost have 3G TIG down, and love your videos! Keep it up man! 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video! I've been learning to weld at work, and the only helmet available is an old school fixed shade one with a little flip up visor for the shade. I do a mix of TIG, MIG and stick so changing out plastic lenses comes with the job. But I'm loving the fixed shade helmet, even as a young guy.
Awesome ending with the accidental discharge. Well done.
I keep a non-auto darkening helmet with a #10 and a #13 shade. The gold lenses are nice. If I have an outdoor project, I use the standard helmets because the sun doesn't mess with them. Those are usually cumbersome scratch start TIG projects anyway. Frame boxing, tractor repairs (OMG), trailer mods.
LOL at the end!😂
Very informative. Thanks Justin
Love the channel, love the merch! Just ordered from your store. I'm welding again after 25 years and I'm loving your content. Keep em coming!

I still use a non auto darkening Helmet. It's a Forney Bandit 2, believe it or not while the headband sucks the narrow helmet profile works well in places where serious reflection from above and behind is a problem where my Optrel Vega View 2.5 flares out too wide to protect against. My Weld Cote auto darkening helmet has a full view feature and is superior to the Optrel in that when pulse tig welding, it handles the on off cycles a bit better. However the Forney is perfect for pulse tig because it never gets confused by the pulses ergo no surprise flashes. Each helmet has its strengths and weaknesses and should not be dismissed on account of it lacking certain features. But 36 years in the game and you figure out what works in the situations you are able to test.
Drink every time he says nascar fabrication career! Excellent ending! Nice honest practical overview of the hoods.
Fantastic video, love the ending . Cheers 🇨🇦
I'm an Elite owner too. Can't beat the hood. Interesting stuff on the larger view on the BD. Thanks for sharing.
Kool sculpture!
Cool videos ,keep them coming, my eye are getting old so I've tried a few of the expensive helmets and found I like the Esab 50 with cheater lens works good for me most of the time. Laughed my ass off at the end , man you make Tig look to easy, I tried my dammitest for few months and got frustrated so I quit, think I need a whole new setup or figure mine out , like the videos
I had a Miller Digital Elite from around 2004, it finally had to be replaced. I got another DE with the Clearlight lens, great hood and I really like the Xmode since I mostly do TIG welding. The Blue Demon may be a good hood but I don't care for the looks of it, JMO
I have that same vintage Miller too. I recently got a TIG ....what settings are you using with it while TIG welding?
