Nothing. Don't want to, either. That's why I have an answering machine. I
don't have a phone in my shop, and if I ever put one in, it will have the
ringer disabled. The LAST thing I want is to be startled while I'm
operating
machinery.

I agree in principle, but I do carry the phone to the shop. I want to be
able to call 911 if needed.

Ditto above emergency only

IMO, having a phone *with a ringer* in the shop makes you more likely to
*need* to call 911. Someday, I'll put one in, but I'm not in a big rush to do
so, and when I do, I'll disable the ringer. My shop's in the basement, and
there's already a phone only ten or twelve steps away from the shop door if I
need it.
