If you need a pair of boots, get a pair of slip on's as opposed to lace ups so any splatter falls off and can't get trapped in laces.

Maybe an asbestos bollock box? 

 

Is that attached or does DTM remove them, put them in the box during welding and refit afterwards?

First - arc eye can cause permanent eye damage. Never strike an arc without a suitable grade of filter to protect your eyes (gas welding goggles are not sufficient).
Second - arc welding generates powerful UV rays. My first days welding (in a T shirt) left me with painful sunburn on my arms
Third - weld spatter takes the form of molten balls of flux or steel which will burn through your trainers (or down the neck of your shirt)

I wear a welding mask, leather boots, leather gauntlets and I cover all exposed skin. I use a fabric hood to keep the light out of the back of the welding mask. I would only bother with a leather hood if I was welding overhead (to keep the spatter from going down my neck)

All of the above is good advice. 
We wore Proban Overalls when I was on fabrication as these overalls reduce the risk of molten metal burning through. We also had to wear foreign legion style hoods.

Is this for real, Mark? 

This is very real.  If a bit of weld spatter goes down your shirt front you immediately and involuntarily breath in. It then drops to your waist so you breath in again, it then drops to your pants ...........and it bloody well hurts. 
On the plus side, it causes a wound and cauterizes it at the same time.

So reading between the lines DTM welded up his nob so it would swell up?

Fairly sure a cheap penis pump would be less painful

BG, ive got no problem with 'enhancements'. I mean using a pump took my Python from 18" on the flop to 24". You can't argue with results

Indeed, he is to young to know what inches are, so simply got carried away, uninformed......

Sadly very true, it did actually make a very nicely quarterised hole, I will show you the scar if you like 

On this specific occasion I was welding up a rotten steam heat pipe on a coach and was sat, said molten lump dropped and found the nethers, the result was a spell of dad dancing followed by a dash to the lav.
