Are we really talking "Bikers" here, or do we really mean "Cyclists"? :-)

I've managed to grind off the finger prints of several fingers while
sharpening tools, both on a Tormek and japanese waterstones.

Today, while turning "hair sticks" (the inspiration from another
thread in this group) with a bedan, I was dampening the vibration
with the the index and middle finger of my left hand, left thumb
on top of the bedan at the piece. Couple of hours later I come
in for lunch and wash my hands. Soap is a great way to find
injured tissue!


A thin goatskin glove, well impregnated with white vaseline,
is my antidote.

If you do not find them for sale, its because you never visit
a bikers shop, asking for summer gloves:-)

Goatskin is 300% more tear-safe than any other type of skin,
so you can use it with confidence down to 0.8mm thick.
A bikers goatskin suit is regularly made from 1.0 and 1.2mm
goat skin.
