DIY Welding Helmet Integrated Neck Protector

[ranald]

I like this & I guess I'm too lazy(after 5 decades without) to attach to my helmets but I use some heavy black (sweaty) jumper that I throw over my head as almost always are welding in the open (as I dont want ignition of wood dust in my shed). Even with the auto black out one there is some reflection and batteries dont last long so use one of my older helmets usually reserved to helpers when i need an extra hand that a clamp or magnet wont hold.

After doing my welding course in 1970 a lobster came to work on a monday & I knew immediately that he hadn't been burnt in the sunshine at the beach: he welded in shorts without any other cover except his borrowed helmet. Should have gone to a course & listened to advice.
