What, if anything, do you do to protect your hands from the exotic wood oils and dust, the various finishes and sandpaper grit? My hands are a mess, chapped and irritated from the above.
I was going to post this question before dinner but I decided to do a little research first. So, as a test, I put on some latex gloves and turned a pen.
All was going just great, I was just finishing sanding with the final grit when some part of my gloved right hand touched the knurled mandrel nut. What happened next will take much longer to tell than the event itself!
My hand was yanked into the mandrel, the glove tore with a snap and wrapped itself tightly and loudly around the work-piece and I nearly dropped a load. My attention had been gained!
So, now I’ll ask the question. What do you do to protect your hands? And don’t tell me you wear latex gloves[:I].
