Eye Protection for Forging

now why are they 12 dollars and the other link the glasses were like a hundred bucks?....ryan
 
those are different than the ones suggested, but from my research they do the same thing, your just talking a pair of plastic safety glasses vs a pair of nice glasses that have a special lens in them

I'm an infrared photographer (light not heat) so I thought I would toss up a photo of my forge a couple of mins after I shut her down...that brightness you see is infrared light still bouncing around

Matt,
Many years ago, when I was doing the radar conversions on the naval air bases, I was also doing a lot of film photography. I especially liked to use infrared Ektachrome slide film. I did my own developing, and the slides often had wonderful surprises. I would sit out on the quad ( the center of the air strips, where the N-S and E-W runways cross) and take photos of phantom and tomcat jets doing touch and go landings. They would often use the afterburners to simulate a carrier deck takeoff. On the IR film, it looked like a rocket ship taking off. The trail of IR "flames" was often 100-200 feet long.

Today, a guy with a tripod and a 1000mm lens on an air base would get arrested, not to mention that I doubt they would let anyone out at the quad anymore.
