Return to DiscussionsHere are three of mine in the last month, A dining table base in silver leaf, a two door cabinet in silver leaf and a curved glass walnut curio cabinet. Oh by the way, I do this professionally! I wonder if the owners know they were constructed by a naked man!!!
I'm no woodworker by any stretch of the imagination but I do enjoy making some sawdust at times. When I moved in with my partner in September we began acquiring discarded pieces here and there, from other residents who had wood on their spot when they moved in that they didn't want or need, from the burn pile where people chuck things away as they upgrade their decks, even leftover wood from my sweetie's deck being built back in 2020. So yeah, the hoarding of things has now come into the wood collecting and I need to start doing something with it or I'm going to get a spanking of the bad kind!
I built a horseshoe scoring tower for my clothed friend back in Charlottesville yesterday, yay! It only took a few pieces to complete, along with some screws and glue, but every piece out of our barn counts in my favor in the way of 'thinning the herd' of wood. There's still work to be done on it but mostly just painting and finishing touches. Since I did it when G wasn't home I stuck to non-power tools except for the drill. Nude woodworking still needs to be kept safe, and a circular saw when no one else is home just begs to become a trip to the ER. A man's gotta know his limitations.
Thank you for the inspiration, my bare but industrious friends!

I have seen similar comments regarding the use of power tools while nude and have yet to figure out the logic behind it. If wearing jeans and T-shirt or Carhart shirt, a circular saw blade, band saw, reciprocating saw, etc., is not going to slow down one little bit when it hits the fabric. If you're afraid of being injured using a power tool nude, then you shouldn't be using them clothed either as they are still just as likely to injure you.
The clothing provides nothing in the way of personal protection against injury using most any power tool.

My comment had little to do with the nudist aspect and everything to do with being alone. My eighty-eight year old mom knows to never pick up her favorite power tool, an old circular saw, when no one is there with her. At sixty-two I'm trying to be realistic and follow the same rules, within reason. If by some freak accident I lose control and the saw blade digs into an artery I might bleed out before I can get to a phone or at least a tourniquet.
Your post does bring up an interesting side note for me - I've never thought about researching a purchase of safety clothing, something like those suits shark divers wear which might stop or at least diminish the damage during a catastrophic event. The opposite of nudie, I know, but I am now intrigued with the prospect of increasing the safety factor during solo saw usage.

Start by looking at chainsaw chaps then. They are made to stop a chainsaw running wide open, so maybe a company that makes them may have a line of other types of protective clothing.
