I'm pretty sure we've all done that from time to time. I know I have.

It happens all the time. Just don't stare at the pretty blue light.

When metal working always wear safety glasses. Even clear glasses will help prevent accidentally flashing eye burns. Safety first.

Oh yeah position work when there's no where near enough room and you think if I just get my arm around to over there. And then blamo. Arc the shit out of a scratch start rig and have to climb all the way back out for a toungsten change with a temporary blind spot.
