I was just watching a video on Google about turning... I notices the demonstrator was wearing a glove on his left hand and a watch, plus on his right arm he was wearing a chain link bracelet. I've also notices lots of times the the demonstrators are wearing their wedding rings or other rings on both the left and right hands...
I always take my wedding band off, mainly for safety reasons as I've seen fingers injured pretty seriously by the wearing of rings... secondly, my ring is a two piece design with a gold sculptured band over a white gold under band and I've already had to have it repaired when I somehow broke the weld between the two bands... plus I like my fingers and don't want anything to catch and remove them. I also wear a gold/silver turquoise ring on my right hand that I take off in the shop... it was a gift from LOML and I don't want to break the stone.
I never wear a watch... over the years past when I was working, I always wore one as my job was most often time sensitive, so I needed to watch the clock, so to speak... in the last couple of years of my career, the nerves in my wrist under the watch became irritated and I couldn't stand the feel of the watch, so switched to a pocket watch, which I rarely wear either now after retiring... time isn't a factor in day to day.
The video I was watching, the turner wore on his left hand a leather glove with the finger tips cut away... I picked up that habit a couple of years back as the chips flying off the turnings began to irritate the side of my hand... I used a leather glove with the fingers cut away too, until it wore out and most of the stitching began to come out.... I found one of my son's golf gloves and tried that... I like the tight fit of the golf glove and the snugness around the fingers, so I'll use that until it's worn out, then replace it with another....
question is: how many turn with their wedding rings, jewelry and or gloves on their hands?
I could have done this in a poll, but don't know how to set one up...
