Mike, in THEORY an AC Buzz Box Welder (can be at least, depends on the transformer design) has an isolation transformer with NO reference or tie to mother earth on the LV Secondary (welding) side i.e. the voltage potential is ONLY between the stick and grounding electrode with none to mother earth.......But there can also be capacitive coupling even with no physical connections remember....
BUT HOWEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR its easy for one of the electrodes to get in contact with a conductive or semi conductive surface (earth, concrete etc) and its equally easy for parts of your body, therefore, to get between a potential voltage difference AND YOU GET A SHOCK
BTDT shocked many times so I always use gloves when sticking that rod into the stinger.....
