Before turning whilst wearing a t-shirt make sure it does not have a breast pocket.

Think we have all been there..... the best i have done is hung 6 doors with a power planner and filled the turn ups on my trousers....my missess was so pleased when i got home and covered the kitchen floor when i took them off
Yes, been there and done that as well. Hours picking bits off an expensive fleece. I didn't wear my smock today as it was quite warm. Won't make that mistake again.

Fortunately I found this pocketful before I took the t-shirt off and spread shavings all over the bedroom or I might not have been alive to post this.
I had to help the wife dismantle the washer last month as it was blocked. She still doesn't know what the blockage was and I'm not telling her.
My suggestion is face the other way Walter. 
A man of your consummate skills could pull that off with ease

No just put the t shirt on back to front the pocket will not then be in range of the shavings as well as the neck also being higher will help stop bits dropping down the inside
Mind you it makes it awkward to get to the pencil in the pocket
A masterstroke Derek. No-one needs a smock after all.No just put the t shirt on back to front the pocket will not then be in range of the shavings as well as the neck also being higher will help stop bits dropping down the inside

Not many of us get the privilige of undressing in the kitchen. Sounds like a hasty move mate reserved for the first year of marriage when you can do no wrong.

The easy way to sole this is to turn bare chested, problem solved.

I only wear pocket tee shirts. A strip of painters tape solves the problem. Wifey isn't to keen about shavings in the washer.

Of all the advice Woodturners give no one mentions that no matter how far your shed is away from the house or how hard the wind blows or how hard you shake yourself the shavings don't drop off until both feet are firmly over the threshold. A lesson leaned....the hard way.

Actually I do it all the time, a quick brush off with your hands and the chips are gone, any fine dust is stuck to the sweat, that washes of in the shower.
