Blacksmithing in a Kilt.

[wildrover]

I sure as heck wouldn't want to do any forge welding whilst in a kilt!! We're talking half-molten metal and sparks flying everywhere.

I for one like my kilts and there's so much you can do while building gates and rails that would ruin a good kilt......take a look in my dresser drawer and you'll see my clothes with the gaping burn holes.

With that said.....Kilts and blacksmithing are 2 things I have a great fondness for, so too bad he's down there in Texas instead of Oregon as this blacksmith/welder would love to work with him :-)

I've had the same thought. Even watched the "fire" video on the UK website, but thought "that doesn't look a damn bit like the welding I'm used to doing."

I do think, however, that a good leather apron would suffice...sorta like the split apron I usually wear...throw in some leather greaves and I think it'd work out. The article does say that's about how he dresses...I wouldn't worry a bit about it .

Very cool.
