Start Laughing, Get It Off Your Chest

Hopefully that will get rid of the whipper snappers. Now for another hint for us old timers. When it's cold outside my shop can get as cold as 50 degrees. I can work at that temperature but not comfortably as the saws are still cold. It takes about 20 minutes for my little heater to get the shop in the 60's at which time it is nice. My wife, ever so much smarter than I, recommended finger less gloves. Cruising ebay I found gloves to be dirt cheap. I found a package of 12 for about 50 cents a pair. I'm not sure what I paid but it was so ridiculously low I could hardly believe it. They are very comfortable and allow me to saw, use the computer, my cell phone and other. I would not recommend using with a table saw or other similar equipment. They sure make scrolling a pleasure in colder temperatures.

Using gloves with a table saw is how they make those gloves without the finger tips.. 

My wife got me a pair of those a few years ago.. but mine had the fingers..that had Velcro fingers.. the top of the fingers was connected to the glove but could fold up and Velco to the top side of the glove or put them down over your fingers... For the life of me.. I can't figure out how they made those with the table saw.. The blade must not have been up high enough?

I took a pair of brown jersey gloves and cut off the fingers for those times my shop is cold. (used scissors, not the table saw)  Works pretty good.

I have several of those padded. One of the uses is for folks like us that use manual wheel chairs. After a while the pushing of the wheels tears up the hands. There are a whole group of variations on the handicap supply sites. RJF

I've been using fingerless gloves for years during the winter.  Even though I have a garage heater now, it will heat up the air very nicely, but the saw table still stays cold for a long time.  Gloves make it much more comfortable to have your hands resting on the cold metal for extended periods.

 I bought a pair cyclist gloves with the padding in the palm & when I use my palm sander it helps to reduce the vibration in the hands.
