I had my first play with a router out in my garage yesterday, which was great fun and is giving me more confidence before I attack my thinline to route out space for a neck humbucker.
Anyway... I got absolutely covered in shavings, chippings, and serious sawdust. What do you regular woodworkers wear so that you don't get killed by your partner for trampling it all through the house? Full on overalls over wellies?? I need help for the sake of family unity ;-)
Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

Easy to take off before going back into the house, so leaving the mess outside, and don't have to worry about which shirts/jeans I'm going to wreck.

*2* front zips is most handy.
The new workshop mostly stays clean enough that I don't have a separate set of workshop clothes any more, though I'll change into old stuff if I'm doing any staining or gluing.

If you're doing a lot of this type of work then a dust extractor is essential, not for the mess, but to protect your lungs. Loud music can mean losing your hearing in old age. Fine dust particles can mean that you don't reach old age.
