Forgot to check my propane tank and it messed up a whole batch

Ngl, I was making hooks and didn't notice the tank was low. The flame died mid-heat, so the metal cooled unevenly. Now all the pieces have weak spots and I have to start over. Honestly, a simple gauge check could have saved me hours.

Been there, sucks big time. Now I always do a quick gauge check before firing up.

Hold up, gotta disagree with the whole gauge check thing. Tbh, sometimes you just get in the zone and trusting your gut is better than staring at a dial. Honestly, if you really know your craft, you should feel when the heat's dropping before a gauge tells you. Relying on gadgets just makes you a lazy worker.
