[TheForge] Real men dont use tongs-Gloves

[Bruce Freeman]

Why not a "felt" glove.  A felt made of short fibers bonded together
(and made into a glove) would rip before they dragged the hand into the
equipment.  Best part would be that short-fiber felt could probably be
moulded like plastic to make a seamless glove (i.e., the felt is made
right ON a "hand" form).  Oh,well, there I go again giving away a
big-money idea.

Here is an Safety article I did on Gloves some time back for our
newsletter.
It has also been reprinted in some of the other blacksmith newsletters.
 I
do feel strongly having seen what a hand looks like with some fingers
torn
off.  It makes a mess of the drill press too.
