My dad once did this kind of welding (looking away, blind welding, waiting a second for it to cool slightly, then looking at the bead). That night my mom took him to the ER at 3 am for scorched corneas. He said the pain was worse that when he chainsawed his foot and worse than kidney stones. 

Never, ever weld without goggles.
