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.

97TJGUZZY · Mar 24, 2020

cut apart the cage and now that I have more time, I'm reworking it to fit the door surrounds better.

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.
