Don't need much to forge in a halter top- I suspect at least half the guys
on the forge have bigger breasts than I do ;-) But, after the house fire, in
which I was caught entirely unclothed (I'd been sleeping) and the "burns to
the upper chest" as the newspaper phrased it, the halter top (as long as
it's made of natural fibers) does provide some protection.

My ex used to think it was sexcy to cook me Sunday breakfast while he was
nude. I was fine, as far as the toaster went, but by the time he fried the
bacon and eggs, I was a nervous wreck- was just WAITING for the fat to
spatter where it didn't need to be.

Never tried smithing nude, but then, I'm usually in a public place when I
smith, so I never felt it was appropriate.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
