Surprisingly, it looks safer than some of the cobbled together welders I’ve seen.

Agree. We take a lot of things for granted over here, which some places/people could only dream of.

maybe someone could collect surplus welding gear to send out? safety kit /shields etc

won't be short of 0CV but surely it'll be a bit lame on amps

Is the bucket just a dropper resistor? Hard to see from the video.

Wasn't there a guy on here looking to do that?

But a lot of the time they don't see the shield as a means to protect their eyes, they just sell it for the money and carry on welding by squinting. Also owning gear makes you a target for thieves in that part of the world

Yes, I had a vague recollection of that too.
