Finds: Duluth Trading Apron
Monday, December 11th, 2006
We have more than a few rusty shirts that we wear around the shop. And no, I didn’t say “trusty” (though they are) — I said rusty. I don’t mean old and full of holes either, even though they are indeed full of holes and old. No, rusty is the right word.
If you use an angle grinder or welder around the shop, you’re familiar with the small metal particles that get stuck in your clothes. Even the most rigorous brushing and shaking will not remove them before it’s laundry time, at which point the water from the washing machine will oxidize the particles and *bam* – rusty shirt.
To combat that “tin man” look, you can always try a machinist’s apron like this one from Duluth.
It’s a familiar sight: a workshop filled with coffee cans and lots of odds and ends. The Coffee Can Organizer brings some order to the “Maxwell House” brand of canned confusion that can take over a shop.
