Hi folks!
I read somewhere that real blacksmiths don't wear gloves. Is that the general practice? I'm not afraid of hot stuff flying around, the occasional spark or slag burn... it happens, but I value my hands and I can't imagine not wearing gloves. Am I missing something? Is there some advantage to additional/direct tactile contact?
I'd really like to know if you wear gloves... All the time? Just during certain activities?
Thanks in advance for your advice and comments.
