    woo-hoo, I actually have a suggestion no one else touched on:

    Use a 500W work light, put it very close to the work.

    this tip also helps for those whom don't have an autodark helmet.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    I tried reading glasses and I tried a magnifying helmet lens and I STILL can't weld worth a flip.

    The only thing I tried that really works is to take the job over to my brother's shop and let him do it.
