With lathes I remember a major hazard was ties when someone would flip

You just made me remember ties. My principal got enthused about teachers
looking unprofessional and required that all shop teachers wear one. Now one
feature of my personality is my undeniable propensity for "messin'" with
authority. I did comply with his dress requirement, but my tie was always a
"clip-on" and, in class, it was usually clipped to my shirt pocket. He never
questioned my fashion selection, but we'd have had a discussion on safety
issues if the point had been raised.(G)
