Re: time to cut em down for shorts
Dude those pants aren't even broke in yet.
I'll have to dig out some "dead" ones where the knees are REALLY gone... times like these I really wished I'd paid attention to the sewing part of Home Ecc...I got to tackle my old boss once. He was blithely welding away in the dead of winter and he's lit up like a torch from the sparks and didn't know it because the heat hadn't made it thru the layers yet. A REAL good reason NOT to wear poly...

Re: time to cut em down for shorts
weldbead - Take the pant legs - cut to desired length - hem the top, stitch the bottom
and you have tough, compact, and reasonably clean chain bags with a handle. OPUS |

Re: time to cut em down for shorts
Yessir, grease soaked insulated coveralls in the winter, the smoke will get you before the fire will..
Good pics - Glad you didn't lose too much hair.... Had a sign in a shop "NO SMOKING UNLESS YOU JUST STOPPED FLAMING".
