Shop aprons - thoughts on what to carry on a shop apron?

I guess it's all about what we're used to but I don't like lab coats. Not even sure I can live long term with an apron. But I'm willing to give it a...

The neck cord would drive me nutz too. I was planning on the over shoulder, cross over in the back and through the eyelets you show. And if I go with...

I had to post this after your 22 fit story...

So you're saying that your ear holes have reflexively and self defensively choked down due to years of marriage and listening to the demands of the kids?...

It would be easily enough to tell. A torque wrench on the Z handle and see how much it takes to move it smoothly.

Just a sec..... (sounds...

Tech, that's my plan. I would not want to tackle making clothes for myself.... not unless I wanted the baggy "one size fits all" that was used...

[BCRider]

My Z handle takes a pretty good amount of torque. Plus on my machine there's nothing that would work for mounting the power unit. And let's not forget...

I touch type myself. Took Typing in grade 9 because it was the optional class with the most girls... Who would have known that it would turn out...

OK, the lower pockets, while useful, will certainly need to be given a flap to encourage them to deflect swarf. I see that now and it's pretty universal...

Lift your thumbs off the touch pad.... seriously.

I've got a cheap notebook with the touch pad and when typing I find that the base of...

[BCRider]

Shavings... yeah.... OK, no lower pocket... or perhaps a fold over flap to keep the shavings out? Something that is easily lifted up and slip by it to...

I'm getting tired of getting some things in position and holding on with one hand while reaching for a pen or punch or rule or whatever. So I'm thinking...

[BCRider]

With Robertson screws I've had the painted "deck screws" that don't always fit the driver tips correctly. And some hot dipped screws have the...

I'd expect no less.... LOL This IS a safety thread after all.... ...

Matt, I cut myself on a new end mill early in my owning my first mill/drill. After that I kept a sturdy rag handy. And since getting more into leather...

Many threads on HSM have devolved into arguments about different perceptions of "safe". While there would be a limit where we'd all agree that...

Also from my experience cheap tools these days are "cheaper" than cheap tools from 25 years ago. My Chinese made mics I got back then do work...

Given the warning about the internal switch and possible restart I suspect that the blue leads go to a "thermal warning" panel light. The blue...

Just found and watched this little short history lesson on the upsurge of Robertson and Phillips screws. Some of you might find it equally interesting....

You're using the secondary? Have you tried using the primary winding? Did any of the instructables you found use the primary? Less current but a lot...
