Over on IFI there has been a couple of threads on gloves, heres one more.

The two pictues are from a brochure for a blacksmithing course at West Dean. Now what is it your Homer Simpson says ..... Doh. Mr muppet is sooner or later gonna learn how hot "hot steel" or that flame is, whilst the gloves on Ms Muppet are more of a safety hazard than safety device. Can't see her getting much of feel for the hammer and I guess it will get a few unscheduled flying lessons.

Once again its personal preference, some people like gloves some dont. If whoever is editing thier brochures isnt paying attention and whoever approved the pictures isnt paying attention....Once again most times I dont use gloves, I Did however use them when twisting steel or cable tighter cause of the proximity to 1800+ degree steel, now that I have a longer twisting wrench, I probably wont again.
