Slightly off-topic but this seemed like the best sub-forum to post this in:
I have this habit of burning though my overalls when getting enthusiastic with the grinders despite my best efforts at being careful.
This does not go down at all well with the better half, I end up with overalls that are more patches than material and there's the not inconsiderable risk of setting fire to parts of the body that are best left untouched - if you get my drift.
I've tried the thin welder's aprons sold by BOC but they don't seem to be effective so I thought that a wider, longer, thicker leather apron, as used by blacksmiths, would be the solution but I'm having trouble finding anyone that sells them in SA or Victoria. Lots of them available from overseas but the postage is a killer, plus I'd like to see what I'm buying before I pay out.
Any ideas???
