[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3300153, member: 7488"] When I was a kid, my dad made a few welds without a mask on (this long pre-dates auto-dimming) finishing up a late-night job at his refractory business (the downsides of owning your own business). He even turned his head completely before tacking the few places he needed to get done, but this was in his brand new shop with glossy concrete floors and fresh white paint on the walls. So didn't matter where he looked, the whole shop was lit up. He woke up completely blind from the burns. Had to get drops for the pain and prevent infection, I think he took sleeping pills to get through the night, and have bandages on there for like 3 days until his vision came back. I remember little 5-6 year old me guiding him around the kitchen, bathroom etc since he couldn't see to take care of business. Get the damn hoods people. [/QUOTE]
