    Not sure if it would have helped me if I was in your shoes at that time but sometimes I'm really, really glad I wear prescription glasses. Sometimes my head isn't thinking as much about safety as I should be and man, good thing I've got something between my eyes and thing I'm working on!

    You were very lucky. Obviously you were meant to go on to see and make more things and to melt more metal.
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    Ya mine are pretty scratched up too... Saved me a few times. BTW years ago I flipped a small tractor. Took a good splash of gasoline in the face. No fire thank God. You can get the stuff on your hands with no problem but wow in your face stings pretty fierce.
