But not if you wear a kilt!

Only if it's a utilikilt. In this day and age of necessary identification and constant smartphone contact, on must have pockets.

Pockets on your kilt are fine I suppose, but not in front of the power hammer if you are forging, especially making pattern welded damascus. Pockets catch things. Hot stuff in your pockets is not a good thing. Trust me on that. And nothing wears as well as worsted wool for kilt fabric. Cotton canvas is not even close to as durable. Hemp canvas is a lot better. Wool is best for hard use, and looks the best as well.

What's a unitard? Is it like a onesy for grownups?

IMO, in a nutshell, it's the tights/"onesy" dancers wear. According to Wikipedia, unitards have full legs, whereas leotards stop where "briefs" would.

No, these onsies for adults...

That's correct, unitards are garb worn by dancers. I guess I am the obscure clothing expert here? ��

Put me down for a table I am in Knoxville which is about 25 to 30 minutes away there are 3 motels in Knoxville not sure on rates and such. Ill bring a table for sure and since I work at 3M I am going to bring some other goodies for you fine fellas to partake

I don't mind going with the flow but I will be darned if I will wear a unitard or that other thing!

My definition of a unitard is bib overalls. So dont mind me. Farmers and workmen for a hundred years cant all be wrong.

Well, Randy, I guess you will have to remain an original in your pajama pants. This time you need to remember to bring the bowler hat.

I know that several of you have probably watched "Forged in Fire" on the History Channel. My wife found this and asked if this is similar to what I did down at Charlies and I told her that it was pretty close. I watched a few of the shows, and actually with her, and it is pretty cool watching those guys work with steel like they do. I guess that they are on Tuesdays at 10/9C.
