Wife has a question for the group

[ctaylorjr]

So, tonight I did like I do most weekday evenings; came home from work, got a smooch, changed into knife working clothes and hit the shop.

The wife came out a few minutes later to bring me a diet coke and said the following: "ask the guys on the knife board you visit if you are the only one that has rusty t-shirts".

So, am I?

[delbert ealy]

No Charlie you are not alone.
I have rusty jeans as well.

 

[deker]

If they're rusting you must not have enough holes in them!

[awh]

interesting phenomenon.

 

[artificialj]

When I used to do a lot of bronze work (former sculptor) I would have green socks from the dust oxidizing with my sweat.

 

[A C Richards]

Got the rusted T shirts as well. The wife will not wash them with any other clothes.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Rusty carpet too. Starts off sparkly...

 

[TheSharpStuff]

I do but not from knife making, from sanding down four wheeler (ATV) parts.

and spirally little chips in the bottoms of every soft soled shoe / boot

 

[ctaylorjr]

This has REALLY helped with my argument! She figured I was doing something wrong or didn't have enough guarding!

No green socks yet, but there is a rust path from the grinder to the door, AND the occasional twisty thing in the carpet!

Try to minimize all that if you know what's good for you.

 

[artificialj]

rust path

Haha, yeah, the rust path is great!

 

[james terrio]

Not so much rusty, I work mostly with high-alloy steels... the bellies of several shirts are pretty black though.

Nathan's sparkly floor thing made me laugh... I vacuum every day to avoid that.

 

[kc custom]

The bellies on mine are either full of burnt in holes or super glue that cracked the fabric-
- hell last winter one day I caught my head on fire! LOL.

[wolffbite]

Hehe... i pulled a bad one and left rust stains on my dad's freshly painted garage floor

 

[butchesforge]

How about this ,rust on the commode,after forgetting to blow the grinding dust off my pants (no smart a$$ comments,I know it's old but not rusty yet)Regards Butch

 

[james terrio]

Speaking of garage floors... mine is slowwwwwly getting all the chips and cracks in the concrete filled in... each time I mix a little too much epoxy (better than not enough) I just pour the leftovers into a bad spot on the floor Good thing I use the slow-cure stuff or I'd come in one morning and find my shop-cat stuck

 

[Justin King]

I wear an ankle-length leather apron when I grind. Rusty toes.

 

[SteelSlaver]

LOL, rusty shirts with holes and jeans with smear marks of epoxy here.
