I see a lot of talk about watching it, is a welding helmet safe enough to watch it through. That's how we did it when I was young, but maybe that's why I'm colorblind!
(quoted from post at 04:20:15 08/13/17) Any helmets I've ever used you could look directly at the sun and it would never darken no matter how it was adjusted but immediately upon a welding strike and it would darken. I think before anyone depends on one for the eclipse they better try it now.
(quoted from post at 15:27:38 08/13/17) OK, guys....I'm gonna make this in capital letters........
I'VE HEARD EVERY SIDE OF THE DISCUSSION. MOST OF YOU HAVE WELDING SHIELDS. NOW- I HEARD A PROMINENT EYE DOCTOR ADVISE AGAINST WELDING SHIELDS.
BUT, WHAT DO I DO?
GOOGLE 'SOLAR ECLIPSE VIEWING GLASSES'.
FOR 5 BUCKS.....I WOULDN'T RISK MY EYESIGHT.
Or go here: solareclipse-glasses.com
Most can be delivered in a week, so get on it.

(quoted from post at 07:47:30 08/13/17) I see all this talk about watching it and where it will be but nothing about how it will effect me here in northwest Ohio. Will I be in range to see any of it or not or will it make the sky for me dark? How will it effect workers outside not wanting to watch it?
