Never Lose Glasses in the Workshed Again

I was so sick of losing my glasses in my workshed, leaving them in the house, dropping them in the garden - well you get the picture.  Cords around the neck are dangerous around machines and just leaving them on the bench has its own problems.  So the obvious solution is put them somewhere they can't get lost or dirty.

How fascinating. I agree.
Its a brilliant assistance to not misplace your glasses.

I came up with exactly the sane solution for around my house about four months ago. Yes be it extravagant but i have two glass jars for my two pairs of reading glasses in my home! (magnified lenses not presecription lenses).

One by my reading chair and one that manages to float towhere itbis needed.

I leave them with the lid face down so i can see them above the papers or book or horizontal wares.

Your post made me smile.

"Never" is a scary goal for me!
However I thought I'd add the suggestion that making one that has magnets on the lid would allow you to magnet it to whatever piece of machinery you're using. We have a magnet on our drill press specifically for its unique chuck-key for example.

I will also put a plug in for having more than one pair of safety glasses if you have multiple work areas and can just use the off-the-shelf ones. Alas, I am not so lucky and my safety glasses are very expensive, but still less valuable than my eyes! I've said this elsewhere - our eyes are a valuable resource and if you *need* safety glasses that are properly fitted to your face or include a prescription please try to budget for it before you get an ultimatum from your eye doctor -

You are *not* to go out to the garden or farm without safety glasses on!

Yes, Doctor, I promise.

BRILLIANT!

Love the magnet idea; especially for the chuck key.  Absolutely, Good quality eye wear is a must.  We have a friend who had a barbed wire fence run snap and ripped across his eye.  He is only about 60% fixed but is very lucky that it did not take both eyes or worse.  Ballistic glasses are very good and usually have wrap around protection.  It is a small cost for a potentially huge saving - not only financial but overall health, disruption to family and more widely the friends and community.

My great saver is to use old frames that I like and get new lenses.  Then use a full face shield.  If wearing a shield and/or mask and the glasses fog up, run them under warm water first to bring the temperature of the glasses up to body temperature.  Anti fog preparations often cause droplet formation.

To deal with this common problem, which I have with my regular glasses, my safety glasses and my magnifying glasses, I gave them a fun, if crude home.

Nice solution, the jars, by the way.
