Thanks Poland,
Treated myself to a new helmet, Optrel 2.5 Vegaview with a 2x cheater lens, the difference from my old cheap hood is crazy I was basically welding blind. Here's my first weld with the new hood

Tried welding some aluminum 1/8" thick, I think it turned out ok considering I've only been at it for about 2 weeks
