You probably already know this, so I'm not trying to insult you, but...

If you are new to welding, don't think you can whip out a quick job by squinting your eyes, while you plan on getting a face shield/dark goggles later.

Also, I highly recommend you practice on some scrap. If you are already experienced at welding, I apologize for any assumptions.

It has been MANY years since I welded. Yes I use a welding mask... my neighbor thinks sun glasses are fine. The sun burn he got was pretty bad. I took 3 years of metals in school and the last year was about 80% arc welding. Yes that was over 20 years ago. I do not have much in the way of scrap, so I started in a less important location (the cylindar the shaft mounts to. It took a bit to get used to the welder, but everything worked out. I got about half the welding done and it might not be as nice as I used to do it is more than functional enough. I have tomorrow off work so I should be able to finish up the rest of the welding, touch it up with my angle grinder, and get it painted. If I have time I will assemble the generator and finish the wiring.
