Just spent an hour or so in the garage sawing, drilling and sanding blanks. Came back in the house covered in saw dust and shavings, senior management not amused!
What protective clothing, if any, do you use?

I used to find a cricket box was very useful when entering the house covered in shavings :sob::sob:

These days I don a smock, infact I could do with a new one so it`s on my list of things to buy from the Harrogate show, unless anyone knows of a cheaper alternative?

I bought a work gilet from Aldi last week £9.99....it zips up right under the chin and stops sawdust trickling down your neck over that I use a leather apron which the sawdust just brushes off.

I wear a boiler suit and make sure the leggings are outside the rigger boots I wear. That way shavings and sawdust do not get onto my socks and I have enough pockets for pencils, tools and curry puffs :tongue:
