Bench Dogs Failed Gadget- The Glasses Keep

Hey There, Folks-- Bruce The Bench Dog Here:

Jigs and fixtures... what red-blooded craftsman doesn't have at least a few of them knocking about the shop? And what close cousin of these brothers is always on hand? Why, yes, I'm talking about the gadget. And what is a gadget more than simply a solution to a problem unique to your shop, or a broader one that the industry hasn't addressed yet. Whether it be a rocking-chair type glue dispenser, a velcroed ever-ready pencil at each work station or a handy place to stow your old razor blades, you know there's a plan for something like it that looked good on paper, but just didn't work as designed. Well, Bench Dogs have no shame, so we present to you the first of (we hope) many episodes that begin with the title "Failed Gadget."
Yuk it up, kids. Just pray there isn't a friend with a videocamera around the corner when YOU bite it.

A comment from Pete(the other bench dog)

Dude, call me crazy, but here's an interesting twist on your idea. How about a small chain or string on the glasses that drapes around your neck.
