The only time I wear gloves is if I’m using a plasma cutter .
You can get a nice solar powered welding mask for around £35 , local motor factors ( Sealey helmet ) or a generic helmet from eBay , handy to have the grind facility on the helmet .
Once you have the welder you’ll be fabricating all sorts , I don’t use mine for months , but it’s there when I need it plus I begrudge paying a garage to weld something, a plate welded by a garage too Mot standard is , well below the standard I expect .
