Just got an Optrel Crystal 2.0 hood. First time I looked through it, thought "holy shit, this is amazing!" I thought my 10+ year old Lincoln was awesome, but this thing is in an entirely different universe. Comfortable, and weighs next to nothing. The blue tint while darkened is a little weird, and will take getting used to. The optical clarity is super sharp, and the color....wow. Photo was taken through the hood. The downside is, it'll be one less excuse for why my welds suck!😀

The owner is going to want a new boat, now that he knows what great aluminum welding looks like! Nice job.👍

Great idea for punches, pencils, etc....Will add to the "to do" list! A magnet glued in the bottom might be handy so it stays put. Mine damn sure won't look that good, but I'll try. :)

Sounds like fun! Just getting used to a new HTP Invertig 251, and this will be a great way to get in some practice time with it.

Brad GoodmanGreat to hear that! Been giving the SideKick 10 a hard look. After we move down to the Lower 48 next summer( N Carolina ) and get settled, that'll be one of the first additions to the shop. Curious if you had it to do over again, would you still go with a water table, or would you choose downdraft instead?

Great episode! The tip at about the 11:00 mark is gold. And Eric's comment just after 16:00 was hilarious!

Commented on Pulse MIG

Nice. I'd really like to try pulse MIG now that I have a machine that can do it. But the 90/10 gas is spendy here for a small time home shop. The local vendors only offer it as a rental of 300cf bottles, or purchase a 200 at $$$$$. In the mean time, just started using dual shield, and very happy with it so far.

Maybe get JD Brewer to do a quick video on his steel sawhorses? Hinge part number from McMaster-Carr would be great.
