Good points. If you don't have/can't afford a welding jacket, at least pop for some gloves and some sleeves. Indiana Oxygen Co. has some good deals on welding apparel on their website. [And a couple of bikers I know wear a welder's cap--the flat-top, quilted type--as a sort of fashion statement.]
Another good idea is to always wear boots when you weld, with your pantlegs over the tops of the boots. Jeans are good, as long as they're not frayed enough to catch fire if a stray piece of hot slag falls the wrong place.
There's nothing quite like watching a guy welding in short pants and tennis shoes getting some hot weld slag down his shoe...no way he can get that shoe off fast enough to prevent a nasty burn, but if you've already warned him and he's not a relative, watching him dance can be amusing for a few moments.
Weld burn is a radiation burn, just like sunburn but often more intense...one night at the plant I had a gap between my gloves and my sleeves, and got a nasty burn on my wrist. Took about a week to get better.
