Eye Protection

I have an older friend of the family with an eyepatch. He lost his eye as a bystander at a kid's birthday party. A piece came off the broomstick they were using to whack the Piñata. This piece found his eye way across the yard where he was busy talking with somone.
That's some really bad luck!

(Guess they didn't realize the best tool for a Piñata is a 50 pound Little Giant.[evil laugh]).
 
HMM BLACKSMITH PINATA"S sound like fun

A blindfold and an 8 lb long handle sledge would be more sportsman like...
 
A good pair of Saftey swat style glasses are cheeper than a trip to the ER. Even if you have insurance you still have to pay for the co pay.

Wasn't too bad, had worse, but still not a lot of fun. Things like that hurt worse when they're in the color or the black of your eye. (Yes, had that too over the years).

Interesting idea about the cooling. Would probably keep those dust-proof goggles from fogging.

Back when I had to wear glasses under my paintball mask it would fog up and I'd be blind. Made for good 'zen' shooting practice anyway....
I picked up some anti fog spray, sold by PMI (paintball people) and it worked great on the glasses and mask.
Now that I don't wear glasses, I use the spray for the goggles I wear while Jetskiing. (Hours of saltwater spray in your eyes, while fifteen miles out, with whales jumping next to you is not fun).
Oh speaking of which, those are the goggles used by motorcyclists; they have seals all around them and an elsastic strap, probably perfect for the shop.
 
googles are god if you buy a high quality pair.

We used tater juice to keep em from fogging

Dances with whales?
