I can see why he lost that job. Kid on the band saw isn’t wearing goggles.

I’m pretty sure capes and frilly sleeves are discouraged in a woodshop environment, just asking to get snagged in something. See how much you like your fur cloak when it’s wrapped around a lathe.

Not to mention that hair product being a likely hazmat issue.

That cape is so going to get sucked into the planer.

I have a related story to tell, but it will have to wait.  I have kids in 2 minutes.

Clothing caught in machinery scares the shit out of me. I’ve seen guys almost lose a limb because of it. No thank you.

Alright, semi-related story time.

When I was a second year teacher, at another district, I got dinged on my evaluation for not dressing professionally enough. My evaluated was a retired principal, very old school.

“You need to wear a tie, at least some of the time”

“I can’t wear a tie. I teach shop. That’s very dangerous. I could get killed wearing a tie.”

“You need to wear a tie sometimes.”

I then went and told my mentor about that. He was an awesome dude, who was in his last year on the job. He laughed and said, “I used to wear a tie when I taught. I was very diligent about tucking it into my shirt, when I used the machines. Until one day I didn’t, and it got sucked into the planer. Thankfully a good student was paying attention, and shut it off. I never wore a tie again.”

I'm so glad I escaped that shit-hole district.
