I've got a $79 hood from harbor freight, and it's badass. It's auto-adjusting, and has a slightly larger window than most. At work, they hired a guy to come train 5 of us, 3 days a week,5 hrs/day for 5 weeks. At the end of 5 weeks, all 5 of us passed vertical up and overhead. We are now state certified arc welders. Pretty laid back classes, and test was OK. Our next classes will be for Mig, and doing the same certifications, then we'll go on to Tig. I don't want to be a welder, but I am looking forward to doing the Tig. We are on a schedule and have welding projects every 3 weeks to do for work. I didn't get a raise for this, so that kinda sucked. It does look very good on a resume though lol.
