From 1996 to 2006 I was a blacksmith just for fun and I loved it. In 2006 I got very sick and I stopped blacksmithing bc of how sick I was. Since 06 my family has been told 18 different times to call the family in to say there good byes 4 times I have been brought back to life on the O R table. I have fought every time. I have not been happy and not my self since I got sick. Things are way better and I'm happy and comfortable with my bag. Bc I'm going back and starting back up my shop. So I just got done making my coal burning forge and I'm looking for something to protect my bag from heat. Anyone have any ideas? Sorry for rambling on and thank you for your time.

Hello Dozer.
Congratulations on your efforts to move on and begin doing what you like doing again. Being a 'smithy' sounds like you are good with your hands and may well be up to a little job of sewing!
I have a 'plumber's thermal protection mat' (from Draper tool company) which seems as if it is the type of material that would be ideal for what you are looking for. If it were me that was trying to solve this problem I would sew one of these mats onto my hernia belt and hey presto! ---hopefully the the solution to your problem.
Best wishes
Bill.

How about a good old fasioned Blacksmith's leather Apron , with , maybe a foil panel attatched to reflect the forge heat . May be a bit of a fiddle to make , but , could work ...
