I brought home a 5 kVa "Peer" spot welder. This is a stationary
standup kind of spot welder, weighs about 250 lbs, and has a
pedal. When I depress the pedal, the top electrode moves down, pushes
the parts together, and then current is released as the pedal is
depressed further.
I tried it last night, it seems to work, but I do not know just how
long to depress the pedal. Would you say that when parts become bright
red near the spot, it is enough current for the "weld nugget" to form,
or is there some better approach than that?

So, how do you like that spot welder? Does it have lots of applications?

Has that girl got a set of strong hands and good timing, or what? Too bad
she's doing that for a living. Looks like a pretty loose operation.

Gotta love the open toed OSHA approved third world work sandals as well as
the Nomex burka- suit thingie and invisible safety glasses. That chick can
move to weld! I bet she has a brand-new camel parked outside and her boss
just pulled the AK-47 away from her skull for a hash break. See what .30
cents a week in labor gets you!
