Shop Question for the basement shop guys

but I disarm her objections by mentioning the "sewing needles" I used to find with my feet/toes hidden in the house carpets when she was a seamstress for a living....the chip complaints die away to a muffled grumble right away.

That's hilarious!

My shop is 100 yards away too. But chips seem to able to survive the trip. Might be my shoe sole type. I take em off too. No cow pies here but swarms of wild turkey with black gooey sticky tar like gobs everywhere. I hate them. But the rest of the bird tastes pretty good.

My bride is a seamstress too! I frequently get stabbed the same way! Your idea is BRILLIANT! I shall try that next time. I'll either survive to tell about it, or you guys will need another moderator.
 
Machine naked, it’s safer than frying up morning bacon!


All seriousness sweeping up as I go. Followed by a through vaccuming with the shop vac. Since I have an attached garage I’ll blow the floor clean with the compressor right out the overhead door, if the floor really needs it.

Most likely Scenario.....

A lightning fast blow to the jewels to render him defenseless, followed by a fatal karate chop to the spinal column while he is buckled over.

Dragged out of the house with a rope tied to the tractor. She knows how to operate the tractor.

Buried out back 12ft deep. She knows how to operate the backhoe.

A hole in the farm field disappears first time you disk. She knows how to disk.

Ya, might not be the brightest idea @historicalarms ever had after all...... Maybe I'll just beg forgiveness "again" and avoid mentioning her sewing needles and straight pins.....

Tread carefully! :D
 
All you need is a 13 and a half year old Stabyhoun dog that sheds hair and occasionally steps in her own poop or has accidents along with continual shedding. After that the occasional chip on the floor is minor. Anja isn't allowed in the shop although she sneaks in if I leave the door open. I use the black rubber mats with the holes. That made a big difference. And I vacuum the areas where I walk at the end of the day.

The few metal chips that make it in are ignored by SWMBO.

All that is Childs play compared to my exposure to diciplinary actions...mine has an extensive arsenal of her own and I can verify that she knows how to use every one of them VERY proficiently (Dave can verify!!) and i'm still kick'n so I think your gonna be ok LOL

One of the first things I bought mine was a Dyson. 17 years later and still going strong. Both the vaccum, and her hatred of me tracking chips home and into the house lol.

How do you keep the little chips in the basement and out of the upstairs?

The other half picked up a chip in her slipper the other day and was less than impressed, it didn't sit to well with me either. I try to clean my clothes off before coming in the house but apparently that doesn't always work as well as I thought.

Anyway, looking for suggestions that don't cost $100k for a new shop.

75% of men kiss their wife good bye when they leave the house. 100% of men kiss their house good bye when they leave their wife.

Do not listen to any of the advice these (brave) men are giving out. Take her out to dinner for letting the chip make it upstairs. :)
