Just got in trouble with the wife

Thanks for the replies guys. I just never figured I could ruin shirts while grinding since the sparks don't really go in my direction. I figured she wouuld think it was sexy in a way to see her man all dirty and sweaty:eek: I guess not.
 
My wife just does not understand to not throw out my shop shirts, nothing fancy
in the summer I usually grind in a T shirt, winter a flannel shirt. Here is the most common
question- Why are you keeping this shirt? -Because the next one I put on will look like it in 5 min. When your pants and shoes look more like a leather dye bench than the real article what the hell difference is a ratty T shirt? That way I can "Dress up" if I have to go to the store.

I have a denim shirt that I use in the shop that takes the welding/grinding abuse. I just leave it there in the shop so it's always there to protect the shirt I'm wearing.
 
Tell her to bugger off, wash the shirts, and do wifely things as you direct. Then duck!

Real men grind bare chested! :D

That being said, I wear one of these leather Woodturner's aprons from Woodcraft. It has a collar that keeps crap from going down your neck. Of course it doesn't cover your arms, so your shirts might still be at risk. What about wearing an inexpensive jacket, sweatshirt, or maybe a leather welder's jacket?

Chris that is an awesome apron! I like the turtleneck, would keep grinding dust out too.
 
I wash every thing from the shop when the wife goes to work.
that way I have clean rag and clean shop shits, but don't say nothing.

Guys I make one knife a month with the money off that knife I give to my wife. I tell her "I made this off a knife. I dont really need it. Take and buy yourself something nice".
I can grind in my Suit if I wanted to. Am I doing it wrong?
