Sorry guys, I WILL NOT wear a ring when I am working in any type of physical environment. I work on my truck, jeep, and anything else that my wife and I own, I do carpentry an framing work, and I also to some electrical. Even when the gloves are worn, the ring comes off. I have had my gloves get snagged on a nail, or a wood sliver. I have personally seen my old shop instructor in woodshop actually lose a finger while spinning a lathe, the tool got lodged against the spindle and kicked the tool back. My instructor was left handed, which didn't help. Just imagine seeing all that blood when you're 16 years old and in school. My wife fully understands when I take my ring off, besides, it saves the finish on the ring when I don't wear it.
