Prior to my motorcycle wreck I never wore gloves, now that I am getting back to the forge I have found that the injuries to my hands have also made them a bit over sensitive. So I now keep a pair of gloves near by just in case. The only time I have ever worn a glove on my hammer hand was just a few weeks ago. After 7 hours of hammering (after not hammering for 2 years) I wore a very large blister... I put on the glove for the last 30 minutes to finish up...
