    and it hasn't bothered me a bit ; )
    I've done a couple of years here and there where I wore gloves, I wore em in the gold mine, in the oil field, a good bit working on a ranch, wore em shipfitting, and sometimes wear them when I'm cutting firewood, but mostly I've done carpentry, where I seldom if ever wore them. Sticking your hand in a tool belt filled with cold nails, or sharp screws after I started doing mostly commercial, I guess it's just what you get used to.
    I started buying surplus lots of computers about ten years ago, after a shoulder injury left me sidelined for a while, tearing them down, putting them back together, fixing some, and scrapping others. I don't recall ever wearing gloves much, even times when I was all out scrapping them, and I don't think it ever really worried me, even when reaching inside while they were turned on. Not like it would with a TV or something. In fact, that's probably the worst I've had, was breaking down the first couple of TVs, especially after reading Hoss' thread about getting zapped from one, and speaking of Hoss, I wonder how he's faring
