--Hairy folks have a heckuva time in the workshop,
particularly when working with steel. Metal chips
produced by
milling, turning and grinding frequently wind up on our
heads
and in our pockets, shoes, etc. Most folks solve this with
aid
of a friend; i.e. put fingers in ears, close eyes
tightly
then
wait for friend to blow you clean with an air hose, which
is
dangerous. I'm thinking that a super magnet embedded
inside
a plastic hairbrush would be a little safer. Aluminum and
brass chips are nonmagnetic but they're also not as sharp
and
risky to have on board, so to speak. Steel chips tend to
be
jagged and curled and a good magnet might be the
ticket.
Removal of chips might be done with a release lever as
on magnetic brooms or magnetic chucks.

Have a cloth cover which can be pulled off along with the fragments. |

That'd be so cool, all metal workers get to wear Ku Klux Klan outfits at work, 'cept they'd come in in tie-dye, leopard-skin or Burberry... |

Ummm, I meant a cloth cover on the magnetic hairbrush. The metal fragments stick to the brush but pulling the cloth off removes the metal bits for disposal. Better than picking them off by hand one fragment at a time. |
