The welding class was lot's of fun. Arc welding is a very different experience, in terms of sensory input. You're not really able to see much of what you're doing when you are actually doing it.
"It" being when you're pumping so much energy through metal that it melts and spits all over the place. Coupled with the fact that my helmet auto darkens when there is bright light, a result of previously mentioned dangerous activity.
It's much like trying to drawing tiny little circles on a canvas around a door, using a foot long stick held at the end, looking through the keyhole.
It strongly reminds me of the "Peril Sensitive Sunglasses" in Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker series.

It also apparently turns your boogers black.
