My youngest son (21) is home from school for the summer and said he would like for me to teach him to weld. I went to tractor supply to get some new lenses for an old hood I have and was suprized to find that not many people use plain old hoods with the 2 x 4 lenses any more. They didn't have much of a supply so I went to my toolroom at work and asked what they had. They don't even carry anything in the small size.
I guess I might as well give up and just buy a big lense hood for him. So my question is, where is the best place to get a good hood for him at a reasonable price. I suppose a self darkening lense is also needed.
When he is not watching me I will probably use the new hood myself. Do they all go up to #11 lenses.
I made my living as a welder for about 15 years but now pretty only much make stuff for my tractor and a few things around the house. I have been welding a lot more since I got my tractor. Also, I just had surgery on my neck so it needs to be light weight too. What about these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00520EDTC...e=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B00520EDTC
