woodworking

[Bamaskirting]

i do not currently have a job at the moment. but i do alot of woodworking. i make jewelry boxes and wooden footballs mostly. only problem, i have to dress normal. woodworking can get messy. and i do not want to mess up my skirts and other clothes that i hold sacred. guess that means i need to go to goodwill and get some work skirts.

Have fun in the sawdust
(and I recommend wearing jeans when in the wood shop.
Less chance on getting something caught in moving machinery.)

There's probably not all that much danger of getting a skirt caught in moving machinery in a modern woodworking shop as most of the transmission bits are either safely covered, the source directly attached, or both. What would cause problems are things like frilly cuffs and the like where there would be a distinct risk of getting snagged in something moving. As far as a skirt is concerned, the issue'd likely be more of one keeping it clean, and that could be facilitated by judicious use of an apron.

A more likely scenario would be getting the skirt snagged on something left on the floor or on some other sharp(ish) object within range which could cause damage. (Obviously, a floor-length skirt would be completely out in this situation and in that case one would also have to worry about co-workers stepping on the hem.)

Yes, one can usually get good quality denim skirts of various lengths at thrift shops for very little. Could even use a larger size one for your apron if you don't want to take off a nicer skirt you're wearing.

Yeah my issue is getting dirty. Not worried about machinery. I think I definitely will go to thrift store and get something. I bet them utilikilts would be great too

Yes, but at $150.00+ each, I wouldn't want to risk damaging a Utilikit in any sort of 'work'.

I do all sorts of work in a denim mini skirt; stonework (very dirty), carpentery, painting, mechanical work. The skirts I pick up at charity shops for no more that $4 each. The only jobs I don't wear skirts are welding and some heavy grinding, where I wear overalls. Mini skirts are pretty safe as there is not much material to get caught in anything. Sometimes I cut off a longer skirt of suitable durable material, I don't mind the frayed edge as it looks a bit like what slaves wore and I usually work like a slave.

150! I will stick to jeans. Lol. Or goodwill stuff. Besides I hate getting glue on my legs. And scratches.
