What do you wear when you're woodworking?

[Bunyip]

I always nude up, I only put on clothes when I have visitors. :eek:

Geez Al - you'd want to be careful of stray splinters ...

Hope you don't do your welding in the nude too, that could get a bit uncomfortable, not to mention to the all-over tan.

Sorry Oz, Spam and bikinis are not a good look!

As for me, I have(but don't wear) this lovely white bib overall outfit, bought for me to assist me in overcoming my propensity for just greasing, cleaning, cutting or painting something as I walk past it.

With the "workshop" bit between where the cars are parked and the living part of the house, I tend to walk past often, and hence all my best clothes look like other people's work clothes.

Shoes are my challenge, preferred work gear comprises board shorts, tee shirt and bare feet or if I am going to be on my feet all day, a pair of good old single plug rubber thongs- the double pluggers are for knobs (wonder what the yanks will make of that when they read it?). Sometimes when I am feeling really flash, and need better foot protection, I pull on my Teva cross country sandles, and hope the chisel hits on the strap when I drop it.

Cheers,

Shorts, T shirt, beard & slip-on sneakers all year round. Apron if I'm gluing (messy bugger that I am).

SilentC does not have a real beard. He does however have a real nice shiny "solar panel" (you know the type you read about on t shirts that say stuff that would cause Wongo to call the wearer a real bad man).
I am much sneakier about balding, which is why I have such a luxuriant growth of facial hair, when I finally need to do a comb over, I'll have plenty.
Also my nose acts as a pretty good solar collector, so I don't need to utilise the vacant space on top like he does.
As soon as I look up the props dept from allo allo, I'll get one of those little red numbers that Herr Flick of the Gestapo used to wear. As long as it comes in flanellette.

I always have concerns for (not about!) blokes with beards and a luxuriant head of hair.

When we are made the good Lord gives each and every one of us a finite measure of testosterone. Why anyone would want to waste it growing hair is beyond me!!

Are you one of the men in black who are known only as a letter of the alphabet? Are you feeling inferior in the hirsute department?
(hirsuteally(?) challenged?)
Sorry, I only have a beard because I'm too lazy to shave, the skin comes away whilst the whiskers sit there laughing at all efforts to remove them.It's all too hard :mad: Poor me.

Speaking of men in black, both Neil and Doorstop were resplendant in their black shirts at the Sydney Show, perhaps thats where Neil got his secret recipies for his polishes from. Alien dna, the truth is out there.

G'day.

Do you want that in Flowerlace???

I kinda liked Michelle in the 449, goosebumps & all.

If we were meant to shave we'd have been born without beards!

I wear a dustcoat, a lovely blue colour - I've cut the sleeves off though - they sh%t me! sometimes I wear my pouch too dependant on the job at hand.

has anyone seen those aprons you can get with a picture of michaelangelo's "David" dickandall ???? I'd like one of them....

[silentC]

sometimes I wear my pouch too

Are we talking posing pouches here? :eek:

God blessed some blokes with beautiful heads, the rest he gave hair to disguise their ugliness.

Combing over is a bit like French Polishing weathered chipboard - doesn't really do much for the appearance.
