Who wants to be the guinea pig? *LINK*

Basil

>I've read threads of you turners complaining about shavings and pieces of wood getting in your shirts/pants pockets and other places. I might have a cheap cure for that, desposeable coveralls. I found an old box of them yesterday while cleaning up. I thought they were paper but now see they are 100% polyester. They are extremely light weight, rather open weave, with elastic sleeves much like the ones at this website.

Cost $27.35 for a box of 25.

I'll mail one of the coveralls out to the first 2 or 3 turners who state they would like to try them. Stipulation is, you got to report back to the forum what you think of them and are they worth the trouble and money

I ordered these things 20 years and 60 less pounds ago. They are XL. I'm 6'2" and 230 lbs now and that's the absolute max they will cover so you need to be that size or smaller.

PS. Mine have a collar on them that you may want to cut off. BTW They zip up pretty snug around my red neck so they should do a good job of keeping out shavings.

>Basil, they look like they would do the trick, if they have a fairly tight neck closure. Without that, I invariably have chips down my shirt, and in lower regions as well, which can be a bit uncomfortable. Definitely would help with some of the discomfort of a large wet cowboy hat blank in the winter. Talk about cold showers!

>That sounds good to me. I would like a pair. What address and I will send back the postage cost.

I generaly wear a turners vest but they get hot in the summer and I end up carring shavings into the house.

Bill, e-mail me your address.

Basil

>e-mail me your mailing address and I'll send you a pair for trial. Should be there within a week or so. They are very light and should fit in a small box or large envolope.

Mailing will probably cost more than the coveralls did but just forget about the cost, OK?

Does that mean you want to try a pair?

>I can not believe I didn't include it.

It is one of my pet pieves to read a question on the forum and not have the sender say where they live.

Thanks Bill

Price per coverall.... $1.42

Not hearing my wife complain about wood shavings tracked throughout the house... PRICELESS
