OK - here's the math

How to estimate the number of views we might expect by midnight October 31, 2017.

There are 36 days remaining until that date, meaning that we have 329 days of 'information' we can use to determine some sort of guideline.

Currently the thread has 91,987 views. And if we divide that number by 329 we get roughly 279.6 views per day. Multiply that times 36 and we have a possibility of 10,065 more views, which if added to the existing 91,987 we get 102,052.

I think we will top 100K with ease...

Welding Helmets

I would like to pose this question to any of the readership that weld. I currently have a very inexpensive auto-darkening welding helmet that isn't worth a crap. I cannot see anything with it except the very arc itself, and not being prescience I find it difficult to make a decent weld under those conditions.

Therefore I am researching welding helmets. (I have sent a PM to Bert-man, knowing that he will more than likely provide me with a five page dissertation on the subject.) But I would appreciate everyone's input. I am currently leaning towards Lincoln's 4C technology, in their 1840 series.

Would any or all of you guys with experience please chime in? I would greatly appreciate your candor on the subject.

Only issue with your math is this is the time of year problems start going away. We must wait for snow season to start. Our readership has gone down as well as the new problems we see. So that in my openion will lower the read amout 10 fold. Oh the October month is so hard on the ones that get bored easy. You will notice how many helpers are chiming in at this time for each problem that comes up. Everyone needs to help and if there is not enough to go around everyone starts chiming in. I do not have a problem with everyone helping this is just an observation.

Put some strong spot lights / flood lights on the job and try that.

Doc,

I have been looking at the new Lincoln helmets with 4C technology. Have you had any experience with them?
