Which protective glasses do you use for watching (partial) solar eclipses?

As a kid I just used charred pieces of glass. Yeah, someone asked me what I was doing with a lit candle outside during the day. I resisted replying "Looking for an honest man". Do not do that! I'm lucky to have eyes still.

In August 1999, on a bus tour to Hungary to watch the (total) solar eclipse, we were given some kind of cardboard "eclipse glasses" with a dark foil "lenses" to use before and after the totality.

Afterwards I read that it needs to be at least DIN 14 welding filter and that those probably weren't protecting our eyes.

So which welding glasses should I buy? The eclipse is in August, but I expect shortage, so I want to get them soon.

If you work with tools, especially spinny tools, do you wear #EyeProtection?

Me? "she'll be right", so sometimes. 🤔

Dad's partner's rellie just lost an eye when his woodworking lathe "exploded" - spinny bits flew into his face, breaking bones & destroying the eye. Experienced & competent, but not wearing the safety glasses *he owns*. "This'll only be quick..."

I'm doing lots of spinny tool stuff. Cutting rocks. Stuff flies out all the time. I'm going to buy face protection... and use it!
