Today I was working at a facility where they have a Millermatic 252 identical to mine. In the shop was a newly built sheet metal box. 5 sides with a hole in the bottom, it was the ugliest thing I have ever seen! The bottom was bent along all four edges so the sides could be lap welds. The three corners were bent, so only one corner was an outside corner weld. It appeared as though there was no gas, and welded by the Braille technique. I would have taken a picture, but it seemed inappropriate. I mentioned it to my son. He replied: "Didn't you see how they weld? The helper had the only helmet, but it is flipped up. When the boss strikes an arc, he looks away. The boss closes his eyes to weld."
I've seen plenty of welding I speculated was done this way. This is the first confirmation I have had.
