Funny, After I had completed a couple of projects, I don't have the original problem anymore. I think I was trying too hard to see the weld puddle details all of the time, which apparently came down to "I was just trying too hard". After getting the knak of seeing a good start and listenin...

Hi, I tilt the torch to about 15 degrees ( left handed) and drag to the left with my head on the far right , up close and can see the weld puddle nicely.

For me it was partly wearing bifocal glasses... by the time I got my eyes focused I had already shot out 5 feet of stinkin' wire. With a little practice you'll find it quickly ...

I know it sounds rediculously simple but it is common. Obviously welding in a flat position is easiest way to test the head tilting ...

The cone of the welder pretty much obscures it. I have a auto darkening helmit (Miller) and t...
