    I want to block noise and spatter down the old ear canal.
    Good plan...20 years ago I was under the front of a tandem welding on a plow front, spark went in the ole ear hole and the ear drum stopped it and muther did it hurt. Burnt a hole in my ear drum that finally healed after a couple of years but until it did, if I went swimming I had to use a foam ear plug or if I was outside in the wind I'd be guaranteed a major ear ache.
    Congratulations I retired from teaching in 2019. I love it. Teaching was great but after 32 years I was ready.
    Congrats to you also. yup you know when it's time and I too liked my job but the BS was getting to me............Mike

    I use the ISOtunes 2.0 because they fit under my hood.
    Bought a set a couple months back, I don't weld anymore, haven't for 6 years (other than crap at home), and just retired Thursday after 33 years with DOT. I use them around the yard mowing or trimming or just when I'm outside and want to listen to tunes. The battery lasts forever, block out most of the noise of the trimmer, connects every time to my phone and are comfortable, I'd definitely recommend them..............Mike

    I preferred this to most of my "Gym equipment" builds. Probably because they are simple and have such a low profit margin and or take time. This is probably only my 4-5th production jobs. Additionally I'm a retired teacher I'm not doing this 40 hours a week.

    Excellent, always great to finish a job.

    I've never done any repetitive work, always one-offs.
    ...sometimes I think it would be nice to make the same thing...

    I've bid on a few but didn't get them.

    If you listen to NPR you are not missing anything important at all.

    I hate production work! Every once in a while I get stuck doing it if I sell a high dollar fence and have to forge pickets, or make intricate posts. Days at the saw and stacks upon stacks of parts.

    That's when it pays to have jigs set up

    I do production work in our other lines and you can never have too many ways to speed it up even when I've already done hundreds/thousands of an item I will always be thinking of ways to make it more efficient... of course sometimes it backfires and I'l try something new only to get bad results after spending a day doing it
