Leather Welding Apron

thought i'd splash out on a leather welding apron as have a bit of grinding and welding to do. Also quite often find myself drilling at about waist height and figure a bit of extra material around that around wouldn't go amiss.

 

Anyway got to looking and found this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Welding-Apron-Protective-Clothing-Dustproof-Uniform-Welder-Apron-Safety-Apron/282844083250?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649arrived today and it certainly looks ok. Seems quite thick leather. Straps aren't that adjustable so a cable tie worked to shorten the neck strap as i couldn't tie a knot in it. so pretty pleased at less than £6.34!

 

I have no connection to the seller so if you buy one don't blame me, just thought others might find it useful.

 

Looking forward to welding my bike carb inlet manifold now as i've cut and tacked all the tubes :)

yeah been there done that. Was wearing a boilersuit, shorts underneith and boxers. Realised my crotch was getting hot and looked down to see i was actually on fire. Burnt through the boiler suit and shorts and thankfully stopped it before it progressed through my boxers :)

 

Hopefully this will minimise future incidents. Mostly now have to worry about not setting the garage on fire as i've used the planer/thicknesser a lot and there is quite a lot of sawdust around.
