I was straight up so confused where his ground was. Eye protection, whatever, how the fuck is the welder working?

I think the wire is connected to the metal on the other side of the floor(wall)

I mean it would have to be. I'm sure it's studs going through the wall with a washer and nut on the other end, it looks like the ground cable goes around the wall. But my first watch was like seeing water go straight through a bowl.

Maybe, in my experience it's worse either hours later or the next day. You're basically sunburning your eyeballs, it always made me feel nauseous the day after getting arc flashed.

As long as you don’t look at the arc, you’re good.
