I'm starting to want some better coverage for my wood working.
I'd been working on guitar, which is a lot less dusty than my woordturning.

I'm thinking about asking the wife to make a long "duster length" apron. This should cut down the amount of dust I carry up into the house :-)

So -- what else is out there that you all use?

When I really need to protect myself, such as routing where I can't use dust collection, I use an apron style turner's smock (http://www.packardwoodworks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=215605&Category_Code=)from Packard Woodworks. It's available in both sleeveless and sleeved configurations. It has a comfortable knit band that fits snug around the neck so chips and dust do not enter there and migrate to places that are, umm...not comfortable to have chips and dust. I do not normally wear an apron in the shop and just dust off with compressed air when necessary before heading to the house.

I wear these - they are free and disposable.

For the rest of my life I'm gonna have that image burned indelibly into my mind. :eek: Ken, that is just too much, you've gone over the line. Think about the children, think about your children :p :p :D

Too funny, I can't stop LOL. The only thing worse would be Big Mike similarly attired. Thanks for the laugh. :D :D :D

Just when I had just about forgotten that picture. Spent many dollars on therapy that COULD have gone for tools. Like a bad penny here it comes again. :)

Wow.

Ken, you would be an excellent Wal-Mart greeter guy.:D You know, the guy who stands at the door and says. Hi there welcome to wal-mart. And you could hand out smilie face stickers.

I think that picture gives a whole new perspective to the question: "Is Wal-Mart good for America":eek:

Hey Ken:
You bring back memories, before I retired from the fire department we would find people dressed that way now and then. It would be the talk of the fire house until we found another one. I think I will send my guys a copy of this picture for old time sakes.
