Hi
Lads
If you have watched any of my videos you will notice I take casting safety seriously
Most of my safety gear came from car boot sales & ebay
Starting at the top
Flame retardant balaclava (ebay)
Full face visor (ebay)
The orange overalls are made from flame retardant nomex (boot sale)
Leather welding coat (ebay)
Leather arm protectors (boot sale)
Nice leather / reflective welding gloves (boot sale)
Leather foundry type boot steel toes and a steel plate in the sole  slip on no laces (boot sale)
I would like a full length leather apron
In this high tech world simple cow skin gets the job done
When I am casting I have a hose pipe ready and a bucket full of water (well away from the molten metal)
All tools and ingot moulds that come in to contact with molten metal
Are considerd wet unless they have been pre heated

Car boot sale, is that a car parts sale or yard sale. 

Believe it or not you are part of the reason I had questions about safety stuffs, I saw one of the videos and the orange suit. But I couldn't remember who the video belonged to.  I'm trying to do too many things at once, I dont always remember everything.

Always wondered -- I think it's like a flea market here, but substituting car trunks for booths?
