I always chop my wood in the lounge in bare feet with no shin protection, gloves etc. Two other things: 1. Polypropylene handles don't shear like wooden ones can 2. Use an old car tyre around the wood you're chopping - prevents logs flying around, speeds things up massively and saves your back from picking every single piece up off the floor.
