My first play with welding glass as a ND filter, this bit of shade 12 I have works out to about 10 stops. The colour cast is terrible and the contrast is not so great but after a little pp I think it looks quit nice in mono.
I don't really like the composition too much but this was just a test, exposure was 30 seconds at f4(ish) in bright direct sunlight! There will be more to come, especially if I can find a bit of glass to fit the front of my Sigma 10-20mm!
So this is the basic setup i starting using when i was in Nova scotia. This is on a wharf on the Dartmouth side of the Halifax harbor.
Simple setup, i have a standard 72mm cokin adapter on my camera, 2 paddle pop sticks and 4 cloths pegs. Did the trick, was quick and simple to get on and off the camera. The rig never fell off, thou it worried me a few times.
I diddnt notice any light leakage, but that doesnt mean there wont be some in the future. My plan for now is to build a better attach meant so i can slide it on and off my cokin p series adapter's and i if get some more time, ill build a hood for the filter too.

Are Caiman welding gloves good?
They're more expensive than some of the cheaper tillman gloves, but their durability makes them worth the extra money. These Caiman gloves are made to combine dexterity, comfort and good heat resistance.
Late June, 2013: I used two magnets to trap the nonmagnetic stainless tube ring for welding. Then using a variety of bits of scrap steel I welded the tube ends together a wee bit at a time around their circumference. Tube rings will become pilot lights for Burning Man Playa poofers.

ID Case #100, no wallet.
Ribbons of continuous welded rail wait for installation along CN's Freeport Sub near Hawthorne Crossing, Chicago. With double-track jointed rail and US&S R-2 "traffic light" signals, this section of the old IC Iowa Division still retains some flavor, though it appears the jointed rail is not long for this world.
This doesn't look like much, but it represents a lot of hours of learning and doing. Around 30 hours of time at the welding table to get to this point is my best guess.
this boy does welding during the day (and attends the night school) ... and he doesn't even have protection for the eyes ... the glasses he is wearing is cracked
Held on Saturday 17th July 2010, the Weldmar Summer Fete took place at Joseph Weld Hospice in Dorchester.
Over 2,000 people visited the fete, which was opened by Martin Clunes. Julian Fellowes also attended, and picked the raffle winners for us.
Thank you to everyone that came and everyone that helped on the day - it looks like we raised over £30,000 with your help.

A railing detail on the tour boat.
I was going to process this as monochrome, but in Lightroom I notices a touch of colour on the underside of the railing and decided to keep this as a colour image.

On the left, the structure model sits on the floor in front of Marco.
In the middle, the model is up on the table- a part being added.
On the right, the finished structure model.
Marco told me on the phone that it is the left ankle of the 40 foot version.* It was stress tested yesterday, using a fork lift this time. The other stress test was done with a truck:

* - i suppose this could be the first useable piece of the finished sculpture, but made from measurements. The usual way to make full size parts will be to measure up from plaster, 3 foot, sections, but they are not made yet.
Later- this piece was kept as a model. the left ankle was built again.
Another one for the eyes this week… welding safety! Welding sparks and the light emitted can quickly damage your eyes if you are not wearing the proper gear. If you notice somebody welding, be sure to keep your eyes away until they are finished. Also, be aware of surrounding surfaces that can bounce hazardous light into your eyes. If you are the welder, do your best to let others know you are welding. If you can, set up the welding walls around you to block the light and proper vacuums to ventilate the fumes. Don’t forget to wear welding gloves, the materials you are welding can be extremely hot and damaging if they enter your pores.
