Distraction therapy project.

Wow, nasty. Acriflex burn cream - brilliant for burns (obviously  ). Best straight away but even afterwards it works well. Perhaps all Mankies who weld or work with hot temperatures (and no, I don't mean a fever  ) ought to have some handy.

Well it certainly must've distracted you from your other aches & pains!

It certainly did for a while but I don't recommend it.

Thanks JJ. Will try to get some for future mishaps. There are bound to be more.
After this and looking at all the scars on my arms from previous burns, mainly from welding but also hot exhausts etc. I have ordered some leather to make a pair of vambrace.

Looks like a good housewarming present for me. I'll send you the address.

Don't think the missus would be too happy Archie.
To prevent further damage to my arms, a pair of vambrace I knocked up out of 3mm thick leather.

But on the flip side mine would be very, so the universe is evened out

  Seriously Dave -anyone else would just pull their sleeves down! You've got more talents than any one man has a right to ya know.

[JayJay]

You beat me to it Andy. Dave, stop showing the rest of us up!
Only joking. It is great to see what you can do. Those guards are beautiful. Living a lot of my life in Walsall, home to many leather suppliers and manufacturers and in particular saddlery, (hence the Walsall football club's nickname is the Saddlers), I've always loved leatherwork and used to make a few things myself many years ago. Nothing like these though.

 Thanks guys.

Sleeves catch fire too easily  
 Overalls don't stand up to metal at forging temperature (1200 C) and clothing with man made fibres like polyester or poly cotton blends, can make things worse by melting into the skin.
