Do you work wood in your jammies?

[Jason White]

Come on, admit it! I can't be the only one here who does a little woodworking early in the morning sometimes in my PJ's. ;)

[Jeff Qualmann]

Does surfing SMC count?

What jammies?

[scott spencer]

I do everything in my jammies...they're with me every moment of my life!

[Bill Edwards(2)]

I thought this was a family site. http://www.unclebill.us/bigs/snicker.gif

[David Hostetler]

I don't use "jammies" per se... Do sweats and an old T shirt count? If so yes...

[Josiah Bartlett]

No, but I did make the mistake of soldering while wearing shorts and socks. I dropped a blob of solder on my sock, which immediately wicked in and scorched all the hair off my toes.

[Todd Crawford]

I've gotten up early on many occasions to put a coat of finish on something to have the correct dry time so I can do it again when I get home or something like that. But other than that, I save my woodwork for when I'm actually awake enough to enjoy it! :D

Well, you know what they say here...

Without pictures, it didn't happen.

Do we really want pictures????? :D

[Michael Weber]

Do we really want pictures????? :D

PLEASE NOOOoooo

[Chip Lindley]

What will the OP "admit to" next? I think SMC should have a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

This thread is heading downhill FAST!

[David Giles]

TMI as my daughters would say.

[David Prince]

What is wrong with waking up, taking a shower, and getting dressed before you start?

[Bill LaPointe]

Don't know what jammies are :) but I regularly wander around the shop at 4 or 5 in the morning doing all kinds of stuff in my robe.

[Todd Crawford]

Sometimes you need the shower afterwards before you head off to work.

[Jerome Hanby]

same here...except for the awake part :eek:

[Tony Bilello]

Sounds like you guys are trying to find a new way to test the Saw Stop.

[David Helm]

Don't know what jammies are. Don't have a robe. I sleep the way I was born and don't often go outside that way in the winter; well maybe to get in the hot tub, but certainly not in the shop!

[Alan Lightstone]

Sounds like you guys are trying to find a new way to test the Saw Stop.
LOL. And don't even want to think about splinters.

[Dave Lehnert]

Does a snuggie count?

[Bruce Volden]

This is EXACTLY why I never cared for welding. In 9th grade shop I had slag burn through the tongue of my Keds and burn the top of my foot, putting it out of commission for a couple of days!! Yikes. Also, commando here too, but I could if I wanted, but not this time of year.

Real men don't use hot dogs to test their SS.

[Van Huskey]

I have worked in my boxers a LOT, especially when I am building up finish and have to keep going back over and over through the evening and into the night.

[glenn bradley]

I always work early in the morning on the weekends but, I am dressed for shop time. I'm the guy looking for something quiet to do till I hear the first lawn mower or 7am, whichever comes first; then its game on. I did do some fret work this evening in my slippers. Does that count.

[Dave Zellers]

I have worked in my boxers a LOT,...
No pictures, no boxers, sorry. You know the rules. :D

[Rick Fisher]

Robe .. yep.. Usually finishing as Van said.

Oh.. and yeah.. in the AM .. before work..

[Paul Steiner]

I am 29 and I stopped wearing PJs or jammies when I was 7. I often think about the generation that won WWII and compare them my generation or current 15-25 year old generation. No doubt my generation and the current generation is much much softer, fatter, lazier, etc and we definitely need to take a few notes from the greatest generation. But one thing I am sure of is that none of the guys storming the beaches of Iwo Jima, Normandy, Italy, Africa, flying over those battlefields, or acting in supporting roles wore PJs or Jammies.
So no, I do not do anything in PJs or Jammies.

[John Coloccia]

I get up early in the morning, straighten out my pink bunny jammies, and head down to the shop. When I'm in the shop, it's always safety first. I always tie back the ears of my bunny suit. The bottom of the feet have rubber padding for a non slip grip. I've sewn in a filter and fan in the little puffy tail....that keeps clean, fresh air in the suit at all time so I don't inhale dust. There's a facemask built into the bunny suit head for turning.

On particularly cold mornings, I fill up my sippy cup with a little hot cocoa and I'm good to go. My clients thought it was a little strange at first, but now they're used to it. "Hey, what's up Doc? Har har ha ha!". Bunch of kidders those guys are.

[Kevin Stockwell]

Costco lounge pants FTW

[Marty Paulus]

My shop is my garage. This time of year I may step out to turn on the hearter in my robe. Working out there, nope. Summer time the door is open so again nope. I have specific 'work' clothes that I wear as I am not coordinated enough to step out the garage door without getting something on me be it glue, finish or just plain ol grease. My wife is still amazed at my ability to ruin a shirt or pair of pants by simply walking thru the garage.

[Kevin Barnett]

I always dress as if I'm ready to go to the ER. I'd hate to have to explain myself dressed in jammies, boxers, or whatever - that would be embarrassing. It's bad enough have a mistake happen.

[Dick Aubochon]

Come on, admit it! I can't be the only one here who does a little woodworking early in the morning sometimes in my PJ's. ;)

I'll admit to being in the shop early in the morning, around 4:00 AM to get something finished on time and ready to ship, I work in my sweats in the early morning.

[Jon McElwain]

What jammies?

My question exactly!


I get up early in the morning, straighten out my pink bunny jammies...

Yeah, so everyone was cleverly dancing around the line and you had to go and just run across it. Entirely uncalled for. Shame on you. No, shame on me, I'm laughing hysterically!

[Bill Whig]

I bought work boots for a reason! I even wear them when I mow the lawn.

With slippers on occassion, too.

Although you'd probably get more attention in the ER if you got a suit like John describes... :)

[Dan Karachio]

Inspired by this thread I went down to the shop in a robe and slippers and cut an MDF template for a curve. However, I'm not sure the robe strap is a good thing to have on around power tools.

[Eric Pitts]

Well, since I only sleep in boxers, and I only wear shorts all year around, I might as well work in my PJs. But, working barefoot is stupid, and I do it 100% of the time. Keeping the shop clean is key. I'm also routinely up by 5am. Luckily, both my neighbors are old folks who wake up super early too.
