I would never do this by the way...
In Taiwan I have seen so many construction sites where the worker is stick welding, not wearing any kind of PPE, masks, and maybe a rubber glove. They would point the stick at wherever they want to weld and then shield the weld point with their hand and weld.
Is that even a safe way to weld? Sometimes they wear rubber gloves and the weld burns holes through them because of the splatter. Weird thing is, I never seem to see much claims for labor insurance for arc eyes...
I TIG welded with only a goggle one time and I regretted it. My face was sunburned.
