Here's mine, it's kind of a 2020 version of a 80's classic. I took a cutting wheel to the lens holder and run a bead of black rtv around the hole and bolted a Sellstrom flip front on it. Then a little file work on the headgear holes and stuck a Miller adjustable headgear in it. I'm here to increase my social credit score and rub elbows with some of the highest rollers on the internet.

Rivet a piece of glove onto it. Trim the top back when i wore a hard hat, so it’d flip up outta the way.

Don't remember the alloy of pipe, but at a compressor station in Bennett CO for El Paso Gas everyone (including me) was getting pinholes like a MF along the edges. Did lots of camo work with a file before the inspector came. He was sharp, knew where you did it most of the time, no matter how good you were hiding it.

Keep the cap narrow helps to avoid pinholes on the edges. Also check the batch numbers on the cans of rods and stay with the batch numbers that don't pinhole as much Also bad welding leads can cause pinholes as wells as to slow travel speed and machine set too hot Last edited by jwp475; 07/03/22.

Even just a few months out of the year, that has to be tough. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
