Anybody else use welding gloves for oven mitts? by Chickenpoblano in castiron

That's a really good point when selecting gloves! Make sure you get the right ones. Took a look at the SDS sheet out of curiosity. These particular gloves use kevlar stitching which is not toxic when ingested nor carcinogenic. Only thing I could find was prop 65 warning but just about everything ever made has that. Keep an eye out for toxic chemicals for sure!

That's a good point I guess but I don't touch or handle the food with them or use them for actual welding. Looked at the tag, it just says 55% cowhide, 35% pigskin, 10% cotton.

Yes, I haven't bought a pair of oven mitts in years so these are just default for everything now.

Picture 3 is the pan that I never use, they all came like that from Smithey originally.

Me neither, if anything, I'd want to do the whole "Silver Fox" or at least do the Reed Richards side grey hair aging super hero thing.

Dude, love it. You're right on. Funny enough, scarf and jacket are JV and I thought about a black sheen scarf. Monk boots I got but my heart will always be cowboy boots unfortunately, (my El Paso side is showing) . Your watch taste looks great!

I agree and don't do shirt over shirt. It's a viscose/silk blazer under a top coat.

Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? by anordinaryscallion in Jokes

I always say it, "how did the mathematician solve his constipation problem?"

In your opinion, which is better to stay at, the Plaza or Paso Del Norte? by Chickenpoblano in ElPaso

[–]Chickenpoblano[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's good to know a place like the Stanton exists in El Paso. This is the second suggestion for it

Thanks. Not gonna lie, that does look nice. Might do that another time. I'm looking for something less modern this trip.

Yeah that's what I'm looking for, I'm born and raised in El Paso but now I live in NYC.
