It's possible you could adapt an aviation headset to do all of this.

No neighbor dogs barking, no crows cawing, no cows mooing, no Harleys brappin', no phones ringing, etc. I don't mind talking on the phone in the shop, but, like you, I don't jump for it immediately when it rings--if I even hear it. Loss of hearing, tinnitus and loud tools (muffled, now, by ear plugs or muffs) all contribute. At times, too, it's downright dangerous to drop things and grab the phone. I do it the simple way. Take a cordless handset out to the shop. Some day, I may actually get a dual handset model, because I have been known to get a memory blip and leave the handset out in the shop overnight, which does the battery no good at all and leaves me without a shop phone when I need to call out. Calls out are the province of the shop phone, IMO. They are safety items should your wood rack collapse and knock you to the floor or another such incident occur.

The very thought renders my mind numb. You might want to check into a pair of suspenders. Lowes has some good ones for around $5. Heh heh I was in Lowes with the youngest awhile back- forget exactly how that miriacle happened - and asked a Lowes guy where the suspenders were. He says they don' got none.

calmly ranted: Two words.... Dolly Parton makes it a little tough to work in the shop, but..... As long as we're going there, the best muffs are a bit further down on the body, and soft thighs beat plastic ear cups by _miles_. The only problem with body-part muffs is that you can't -see- what you're doing when you wear them in the shop. Suggestion: Try on the body-part muffs inside the house, then wear any old things out in the shop. I have 3 pairs of HF muffs and half a dozen Int'l Orange ear plugs to double up when I use the screaming routah. That way I can always find a pair, there's a second pair around if someone happens over when I'm in th shop, and the total cost was right around $10. -- ALL YOUR FEARS ARE LIES ----------------------- http://diversify.com UNfearful Websites |

I have about a dozen pairs of HF ear muffs. They do a good job and only cost about $3.00 each on sale. I have them scattered all over the shop and pickup (for wood cutting). My theory is that if they are handy I'll use them. I do the same thing with safety goggles. Tim Douglass http://www.DouglassClan.com |
