Am gonna start wearing welder’s gloves…might stop me from leaving blood samples all over my work :(
Generally, there shouldn’t be blood involved with woodworking. Either you’re moving too fast, your tools are dull, or something else is going wrong. Only times I busted a knuckle was when I was rushing and didn’t do things properly.
This is especially important if you’re working with power tools. A table saw or router injury will leave a big blood stain, so best to correct the issue before that happens.
Don’t use gloves or lose clothing when operating spinning machines of all kind e.g. table saws. A splinter seems like a nice option, when your full hand gets sucked into the blade.
Is this for wood handling (ie avoiding splinters and sharp edges)? Or for use with rotating machinery? I don’t think the latter is advisable.
This was me and sarcasm…I use hand tools so, chisels, planes (believe it or not) will bite me sometimes.
They are pretty bitey… Can confirm
I find I end up drawing blood with my handsaw more than any single other tool. Band-aid-class injuries, not serious ones. I’m a lot more attentive when using something electrical.
Get some of those chainmail looking gloves for whittling and stuff.
Or those filleting gloves…
My old man always told me a job’s not done till you’ve bled on it.
If you don’t want to use your own blood to stain the wood, you can use Dragon’s Blood!
I could get what’s her name from GoT to come hunting with me…
