Has anyone got a good tip to enable me to keep swarf out of the house I have overalls on in the workshop and take them off before coming in but occasionally some gets in. My wife can spot theses bits from 10 yds so they are not wasted

1 Live in the workshop. 2 Steal a metal detector gate from your local airport or supermarket. 3 Get a divorce.

I got one of those rubber mats at the door like they do in workshops. Helps a lot.

I have a piece of carpet (offcut of the lounge carpet) at the workshop door and that tends to snag 99% of the swarf, but the female species can still spot that 1% from 100 yds. The other way of losing that 1% is to have a pair of slippers to change into when you come in the house or grab yourself some of those industrial over shoe covers they have for clean room working.

There seem to be an awful lot of subservient wimpish guys little people here.
C'mon Tel, start a new thread - "instructions in overt chauvinism" ;D

Perhaps you could wear those plastic outer coatings to your shoes that scenes of crimes officers wear?

For another thought try getting your other half to come up with the solution. Then when it fails you have an escape clause ;D

Many years ago, I visited Sellafield. They had a bench accross the floor of the changing room, clothes and shoes were never to cross it. That still didn't stop the stuff getting out though... except: ...... at least a year later Chernobyl gave them an excuse for the radioactive sheep (and Welshmen). Let's face it Paul, your "trouble & strife" has you on this one Keith

I'll repeat the story of some friends;
A bachelor friend used to tease another friend's wife, saying that if she really loved him, she'd move into the garden shed, so he could keep his machines in the living room...
Several years on, the married friend is divorced and the bachelor is now a spinster.
Careful how you play it

treat your missus to a new (swarf coloured) carpet this works well in any room and can be very pleasing to the eye see,,, there is always an easy solution.
