If I’d thought of this earlier, I’d have gone to the turner’s SIG tonight and asked this question.

Just got my lathe on-line and started doing a test piece. As the chips were flying, I remembered how they seem to get into places that are not so pleasant. I guess that’s why there are turning smocks. So, I thought it might be a good idea to add a turning smock to my Christmas list. Any recommendations?

Bill, I have a leather smock that I wear when I glue or turn. Works great (when I remember to use it!) Just be careful with the string, tighten it in the back, no bow in front!

I can tell you what does NOT make a good turning apparatus, a Carhartt sweatshirt with angled, open pockets.

I’ve taken change out of my pocket at a cash register and had to pick through the chips to get the coins.
