[TheForge] Protective gear

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

the following i purchase from blain's farm & fleet.
heavy leather welding gloves
safety googles
leather sole shoes.
welding helmets
yellow cotton with red cuff gloves in packs of 12
welding cap
face masking, paper filter type
partial face air respirator chemcial cartridges
partial face air respirator fine dust cartridges

leather apron was bought at an auction.
cotton canvas aprons made from heavy  cotton canvas bought at fabric
store.

my "computer eyeglasses" are safety glasses, they are basically my
bifocal prescription. i use them for close work and at the computer.

my safety eyeglasses are for far work they are basically my normal
eyeglass prescription top half.

the place which made my normal eyeglasses made all the other glasses at
a good discount.

i wear the heavy welding gloves whenever i am working with hot metal.
the reason for this i can not sense hot or cold in my left hand so it
would be really easy for me to burn myself and not know it.
