I know this is going to sound silly, but I have to ask because it is driving
me nuts.
How do you guys deal with keeping splinters and miniscule bits of wood out
of your socks? I usually wear jeans and sneakers out in the shop and I
always seem to get bits of crap lodged in my socks and can never seem to get
rid of them. The worst part is when I put the socks on after they've been
washed and have the itching and poking start all over again.
I figured you guys have been doing this a lot longer than I so _someone_ has
had to run into this problem before.
Thanks,

Basically. I wear boots and haven't really noticed any problem with

When this happens to me it's usually an indication it's time to sweep the floor.

I always wear steel toed boots in the workshop. Too many big heavy
things looking to fall on them to do otherwise, and it keeps the
splinters out too.

REAL men don't wear socks.
Try an apron. If that doesn't help, get the dust collector
system you should already be using. It'll keep a lot of the
pieces and dust from flying in the first place.

Hey vato, I used to wear huaraches in the shop you know? But they were made
from Firestone tires and I kept falling over. Sometime when I am making a
cabinet or table, I drop my hatchet, so anyway, going barefoot didn't work
out neither, so now I sneak my mother in law's socks and wear them. I leave
the old socks under her pillow.
Bueno suerte.

That may work for all of you lazy, Norm-worshipping, energy-wasting
doofi* who can't even pound in a freakin' 3/4" wire brad without first
hooking your 2,000 round power nailer up to a 500 psi air compressor.
A Neander wooddorker doesn't get his Fruit-of-the-Looms in a half-
hitch over a couple of eensy-weensy splinters in his socks. And all this
airy-fairy nonsense about dust collection is just caving in to the whole
OSHA/Big-Brother-Knows-Best crap that the gummint has been trying to force
down our throats for years. So sirree, an honest-to-god, blood and guts
woodworker ignores that kind of candy-ass, sissyfied "safety" codswallop,
and enjoys the warmth and stimulation of a sockful of splinters. I know I
do.

That is an interesting point at that. I wear plain white socks with the
knit gray heel and toe thingies, or else the footie socks with little white
snowflakes on the soles. (Oh shut up.) Never wool, and I haven't worn my
one pair of dress socks since the last job interview, seven years ago.

Gee, Rob all my splinters end up on my hands. Can't say as I've had

Dunno. I pronounce it "swimbo" and have taken to calling Renee that often.
She likes the whole "must be obeyed" part of it, though she's long been

She sounds like a mighty kinky one. She's a keeper!
Oh, I forgot another way Ashley can keep the socks clean.
Roll up your long-sleeved pants (you ARE wearing long pants,
aren't you?) and duct-tape gallon baggies or tall kitchen
trash bags (depending upon your foot size, petite to giant)
over your shoes and socks. Removal won't hurt once you get
rid of that pesky hair around your upper shins by removing
the duct tape a couple times. Enjoy!
P.S: Watch out, they can be slippery until you're used to 'em.

Man, you must be new. Efficient dust collection is soooo important.
Do a google search for "Downdraft floors."
Basically, you drill a 1/2" hole every 4 to 6 inches in your floor and
hook up a Trane commercial hvac blower to some duct work that connects
to a "dust pan" that you build under your floor, sized to your shop.
Seal the perimeter well, and oh, do be careful to avoid drilling
through the floor joists. DAMHIKT. Bob's yer uncle, no more dust in

Probably 95% of what I create is dust...saw dust. I get very few wood
chips.
And even the chips need to get PUSHED...even though very lightly some
times...to get it stuck in my socks. I do often get a lot of dust on
the tops of my socks. But I just brush them off lightly while they're
on...and the dust easily comes off.
I usually wear long pants or sweats while working...and they
completely cover the socks. Summer time shorts causes more of a
problem. But, even then, I try to wear long pants most times...to
provide even a minimal amount of skin protection.
Have a nice week...

Honestly, no. Although I can see why you might suspect that as it _is_ a
rather off-the-wall question. It's an honest to goodness problem I have. I
suppose for safety sake, I'll take Rob V's suggestion and buy some boots,
although boots with no socks...that can't smell too wonderful :)
I don't wear high-water pants, but have been known to wear shorts in the
summer time (it gets a bit warm in Atlanta in the summer). It seems to
happen most when I am cutting plywood on the table saw, even with the dust
collector running, the dust collection on my contractor's saw isn't quite
ideal, and dust manages to find its way out on to the floor and me.
Thanks for all your replies...

I wear things called 'boot guards'. Basically they are a "skirt" that goes
around your ankles which are made of material that splinters don't attach
to. (Mine are made of the same material that a dry-as-a-bone jacket is made
from, for all you Aussies). Get your missus to make you up some. . . .AKA

Might have something to do with the type of socks you're wearing. I've had
this problem frequently with wool socks, but never with cotton.

Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com)
How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
I just picked up 12 pairs of socks at Sams Club for $10.00. Far far cheaper
than just about any tool I have ever purchased. You can always just throw
them away when they get too annoying. It is also a great diversion for SWMBO
as she yells at me for throwing away perfectly good socks and doesn't notice
the new grinder sitting on the workbench.
I have to admit though, that I live in AZ and it is blistering hot in the
summer. I am out in the shop all the time in shorts, socks and tennies, but
don't have this problem.

Well, first she takes my socks and sets them to the side. Then she gets

Takes out a butcher knife, and reminds me that Lorena Bobbitt is her

If SWMBO didn't wash'em right, send'em back and tell her to do it over
again. :)
Anyway, unless I'm wearing socks with sandals or slippers in the shop (which
I avoid because I get a lot of splinters in my socks that way) I don't
really have a problem getting splinters in my socks.
It's a non-issue really. Like wondering how to avoid getting a lot of
little nicks and cuts on your legs when you weed-eat in shorts... Don't
weed-eat in shorts.

I only require that my "clean" socks not have any sawdust on them...and my
wife seems to have mastered the art of filling my sock drawer with socks
that meet my expectations... Once I head out to the shop I personally do
not care if I accumulate sawdust
on any of my clothing... ...
