Another unique gift for a welder is his cap...you know, the ones they always wear backwards! :D You can find tutorials online & make them just for him.

Here's a tutorial I found:

Nice bag and he looks pleased to get it.

Beautifully made and so creative. He seems to be a happy camper.

Osewme, thanks for the welder's cap idea. I was just going to take a pic of the bag, but he was so excited with his bag, he ran outside and said take a picture of me. He really loved it, and wanted to keep the lens clean and protected between uses. I tried so hard not to laugh when he put the mask on, he looks like an alien from outer space. (At 6 foot 8 inches tall, he really looked like a friendly monster).
