A botched pour showed me why we need to talk more on the floor

I was rushing a bronze pour yesterday and didn't double-check with my partner. The mold shifted, and it hit me that clear signals prevent wasted metal and time, just like in any group project. How do you guys make sure everyone's on the same page during hot work?

Man, the cost of silence isn't just wasted metal, it's burned trust too.

Sometimes all that talking just slows the real work down.

Yeah, the part about clear signals preventing wasted metal really hits home. I used to think all that talking just slowed us down, but seeing a similar mess change my mind real quick. Now I'm the one making us say what we're doing out loud before we do anything hot.
