Forget the washing machine, getting it into the bed is the worst.

When she wakes up in the middle of the night with swarf sticking in her a**e, you are in deep shi trouble.

So just a note of warning, while she is away, not taking your overalls and boots off before climbing into bed can have severe consequences.

Swarf is a great test of marital fortitude! 

When the loved one is away it is probably best to rig a cot in the shop, that is safest and what you really wanted to do anyway! :lol:

I was lucky; my (late) Chris was an engineer's daughter, who learned to read from engineering textbooks so she knew that swarf was a fact of life, and wasn't bothered when I used my first (baby) lathe on the kitchen table.

Liz (the cleaner) isn't as indulgent, and wasn't too impressed  :hammer: by my suggestion of a magnet on a stick. So I secretly stuck a few neobbdy neobdymum rare earth magnets on the underside of the vacuum cleaner. That seems to have shut her up, tho' I have to be very careful about non-ferrous stuff.
