Okay, now this is the type of stuff I was looking for, besides the grounding thing. I do have a welding cap to go under my flip-up helmet, which was included with the welder, so I hope it is a # 10, at least. I already have the clear safety glasses. I have some gloves on the way. I was planning on wearing coveralls, with jean-type material underneath them to weld, until I was able to afford a welding jacket. Safety shoes (leather) are always worn, as well as cotton socks. I haven't got too much further than that, though. I have the sample welding rods I was given with the welder. I wasn't sure about those magnets, but I did see them on eBay and wasn't sure what to think of those. I do have some welding clamps on the way. I am going to be setting up some kind of ventilation system when I do start using the welder. Are lock-joint pliers also called channel locks? Or are we talking about "ViseGrip" type pliers?
