Do any of you wear gloves when turning?
One of the members in my woodshop insists on wearing gloves when turning. He claims that when roughing the chips flying back are hurting the backside of his hand and the gloves prevent that.
We have a policy of "no gloves" allowed in the shop but he's claiming that a lot of turners wear gloves and that he needs to wear them. Before kicking him out over this issue I just wanted to get some feedback from some other turners and make sure that I'm doing the right thing here.
