Lets compile a thread of "comfort tips"
This is a spin off from the direction Reccymech's welcome thread headed.
Clothing, lifestyle, techniques, etc.
Keep it light and don't forget, happy wife = happy life
- Welding -
Pants over shoes not shoes in pants, or you do funny dances.
the same goes for your shirt. But the dance is completely different.
Wear a cap with a welding mask or use a hooded mask when welding overhead.
hair loss is quite rapid without one or the other (provided there is hair to be lost, if there isn't. Chicks dig scars)
Wash the black off your hands outside, in the shed (when fitted with a sink) or in the laudry and don't use good linen to dry your hands because "it was there" or "it's going in the wash anyway" These excuses don't work. I have a tendancy to miss between my fingers on the first wash only to find the white linen that was waiting to be loaded into the washing machine not so white anymore.
- Machining -
Wear an apron when machining. Swarf and chips love to stick to clothes and embed themselves into that nice couch only to come out when the other half sits down.
Have dedicated shoes/boots for the shed. Again, swarf and chips embed themselves into the sole until carpet is present. They then enter the carpet and hide until the other half is
1- barefoot
2- vacuuming
3- looking for something to get angry about
4- just getting in a good mood after finding black marks on the new linen.
I'm sure there's more and you can see the direction I'd like the thread to go.
Being Hobbiests, a majority of us have the machines within a rolling pins throw from the kitchen.
Some say my partner should've played softball/baseball.
Sometimes I agree........
Have fun! :biggrin:
