Honestly.. not that I'm saying that would happen, but even if it did - where is he going to be doing his welding? In the garage, with good conditions. So who really cares? It's not like he's going to take a job doing overhead welding hanging by a harness inside a steam turbine facility or something.

When I did my very first welding in school, we had manual helmets. I hated them from the first day, and still do. They were the single biggest impediment to laying down a good bead, cause I couldn't see what the hell I was doing.
