That moment my gouge slipped on a 3/8 plate at the Port Arthur refinery

I was laying a root pass on a 24-inch header when my stinger got hung up on a ladder rack and I realized I'd been rushing my setup for months, so now I double-check every lead before I strike an arc - anyone else had a close call that made them slow down?

How bad was the gouge on your plate?

Man, it was bad. Gouge was deep enough that I could feel the lip with my thumb. Had to replace the plate right after.
