I like the kevlar glove idea.

Magnets all over the place, makes sense. I have 1 ft. long magnet strip mounted near the top of the peg board that runs down the middle of my bench. I stick my SS rulers there, Verniers, etc. Yes, they need to be demagnetized every 3-6 mo. Easy with the commercial demagnetizers that are available.

Like they say, we were given two ears and one mouth for a reason. I'll always remember the new maker who visited the shop long ago and talked so much I had a hard time getting a word in edge-wise. He surely did know a lot.

Did someone mention putting some dish soap in your cooling buckets to keep the dust from collecting on the top of the water. Helps a lot.

Great ideas, everyone. Thank you.
