Hello All, I'm working on 18 ga. sheet metal project where a stamped recess in the sheet metal has become distorted and flattened (no recess). I would like to know how I can restore the recess back into the sheet metal. The recess dimensions are approximately 1 1/8" x 1 1/4". I've attached photos showing the damaged flattened recess and an undamaged recess. Any help is appreciated. thank you cross

Hi, I've been welding for almost 50 years, not professionally, and have always used a Huntsman helmet with a shade 10 lens. Almost exclusively stick, with a little MIG occasionally. My eyesight isn't bad for an old guy, but I have a cataract giving me problems in one eye (soon to be removed). I'm having problems "seeing" the welding puddle and following a line when welding. I wear reading glasses, and have tried them, as well as "cheater" lenses in my helmet, no help. I have 2 questions: -Is the cataract causing my problems? -Would an auto-darkening helmet help? My son-in-law has lousy vision and swaers by his Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks, Steve
