> why only during an eclipse?

It is not only during a solar eclipse that staring at the sun is bad for your eyes. People just need to be reminded during a solar eclipse since staring directly at the sun is how you witness the event.

> Also, how can I protect myself without some fancy-dancy special glasses for 50 bucks?

Welding goggles can be found for less than $10. You should probably buy darker lenses, which can also be found for less than $10. I would suggest a #14 shade or higher.

Or you could get some sweet goggles.

I wonder how different these are from these much cheaper welding goggles

Edit: sounds like you need welding goggles with a rating of 14 or higher so the linked ones (rating of 5) won't work.

Frost's jacket is going to be a tough one. It is a Bomber Jacket with fur collar and I have never seen one in white/arctic camo.

Welding goggles!

Just unscrew them and cover the plastic with duct tape.

Well, let's start from the top and work our way down

"Tactical" shemagh

Dune sclera lenses

3M 6200 half mask

Torch goggles

3 yards of fabric for the cloak

Tunic that I got from a ren faire years ago

550 cord

Avatar knife plus a coat of white paint

Thai fisherman pants

And the base layer, an open face Zentai suit

Plus my old desert combat boots. I also had a nose tube that I made with a bread bag clip, electrical tape, and 550 cord, which is obviously not shown here and could definitely be made much better with a proper septum clip.

Edit: And a handful of random washers as water rings.

ah, nice to meet you. here's hoping we never have to take a job that requires respirators.

those in particular were thrown in when i picked up my oxyfuel rig at the local welding supply shop. you can find them damn near anywhere that carries welding supplies, though. or just order from amazon, because amazon has everything. shade five is the most common since that's typically what you'll want for cutting applications, though i've seen lenses up to shade ten before - for carbon arc or plasma cutting, i guess?

i have mixed feelings about the things from a practical perspective, and in my experience i've found that they're very situational. generally speaking, i only use them for working in the field when i don't have a better option. in this instance, i was crawling around inside the engine compartment of a crane to disassemble the cowling and drum cover; very hot, cramped, and you've a metric shitload of hot metal flying all over the place. the fact that these goggles have no cracks for errant slag to discover and damn sure aren't going to be slipping off after three hours of sweating my way around crane guts meant that i could focus on what i needed to be doing without too much worry. but then you look at a shop setting and it's an entirely different story; given the amount of pedestrian traffic you have to be aware of and the relatively stable environment, the lack of peripheral vision and even a marginal amount of face protection are pretty solid nails in the coffin for me. they're clunky and restrictive enough that i'd rather throw on a tinted shield real quick and be done with the business.

on the other hand, the cool factor is hard to argue against.

GTA III

When I was 7 or 8 about (I can't really remember), I would go over to my friends house and he would be playing GTA III. At the time, my parents wouldn't let me play video games at all so it was a big treat to just get to watch him play. He was a bit of a game hog but the times he let me play it was awesome. My favorite part was just driving around.

Here is something I would like from Amazon
