    Welder’s spats

    I go a nasty burn a fortnight ago when a droplet of steel landed inside my boot. It has not closed over yet.
    To prevent it happening again, I took some scrap leather, salvaged from an armchair, and cut some slits so I could get it over my ankles.
    Probably the least sophisticated tool ever posted on the forum.

    Philip,

    Been there, done that. Nobody’s ever seen me dance like when I got some hot slag in my shoe!
