I have seen several videos of wood turners wearing a glove or gloves while turning usually bowls or larger objests. I was always told that was a BIG NO NO.
The other day I was sanding a pen blank and needed to fill a small worm hole with sawdust and CA glue. I put on a thin rubber glove and delt with the problem. I started to sand again (with out removing the glove) next thing I know that glove was yanked off. So fast it was unbelievable, if that had been a cloth or leather glove my arm would have been wrapped around my work before I had a chance to react.
That incident reinforced the NO GOLVES AT THE LATHE rule in my shop (even thoes thin rubber ones I get from my Doc.). And while on the subject I take off my rings and anything that could get caught. Just a reminder to be safe
