Is enough, or even too many?  I am re-loading my truck with all of the sawmill stuff and looking at the old gloves that I last used decided that I had better break out another pair.  I have a "glove" bag in the truck where I carry several new pairs of gloves, both for myself and for tailgunners that do not have gloves.  OK so what is that "right" stuff all about?


 
Yup, inside of my glove bag along with several pairs are five (5) right hand gloves.  Two well used, one slightly used and two new.  Often when I wear a hole in a glove I'll reach into the bag and grab a single replacement and keep on going but I was surprised to find 5 right hand gloves.  I am right handed but I suppose that I let the left hand do all of the dirty work.  ::)

Maybe we could have a glove exchange. I always wear out my right glove first from tossing split wood.

My left handed buddy used to say everyone is born left handed till they commit their first sin then they automatically become right handed. ???

I keep wearing out the first 1 or 2 fingers. So I take the old pair, cut the good fingers off and strip them over the wore out ones and glue them on. They are a little stiff at first but it works.

That's interesting, I almost always blow out the thumb or index finger on my right hand and I'm right handed.

Strangely my left middle finger always wears through first, and almost always in that spot.  


 
I guess it is the strongest finger on my left hand and gets the most wear when picking up boards.

Turn them inside out and you'll have 5 left hand gloves.
Years ago pulling green chain, if I couldn't find mittens I'd use gloves. Gloves just didn't hold up, so we'd find two that were good, turn one inside out and have a pair of brand new gloves.
I also learned that with the price of Levi's, sexy or not, leather aprons are worth gold! 8)

Lawg Dawg,

   I find not using gloves just tenderizes my hands so skip the toughening process. ;) I use cheap HF gloves as I find they tear up just as fast as the $15-$20 White or Brown mule or other high cost brands. I was moving some 8/4 LE slabs the other day and smashed one down on a bed rail. Boy did it hurt. Then I got to thinking how much more it would have been hurting without the glove on that hand. :o

I do not saw without gloves.  Ditto; steel toe boots, dust mask, eye & ear protection, hat, and my ever present leather waist apron.

I must have the same quirk as Magicman.   I went to get a pair of gloves out of the truck while sawing in the U.P.  and only found right handed gloves. probably 4 or 5, and not a one left to go with them.

Today I was organizing stuff in the garage and decided to go through a bag full of old gloves. It was a delightful mixture of fungus, mildew and mold. 

I had 7 right hand gloves with no mate.
And 1 left hand glove with no mate.

What is going on?  I am right handed.  I think I probably take off the right hand glove when working much more than the left hand glove.  Does this mean I wear out the left ones first?  

Maybe we can hear from some lefties about their glove inventory.
And is this reversed for you folks "down under" ?

I think it is time to start a poll.
