Yep! I lease a commercial unit, already finished when I moved in about ten years ago. Landlord had mounted one by the door and one at the top of the mezzanine stairs (both ABC), plus an A on the floor in the kitchen. I added an ABC by the door in the back room, where I do any hot work.

Ahhh, but this one's 'vintage'... :p On a very slightly more genuine note, I do feel like prices have gone up for Kennedy boxes. A little inexplicable, to me? I'd think there are even more machinists retiring now than when I first bought a few boxes. Incidentally, I have two unneeded 520...

Broadly (I did the course, but it doesn't come up often enough that it's easy to recall) there's friable (falls apart into fine, readily airborne fragments if you touch/mash/play football with it) and non-friable (hard chunks that you'd have to take a grinder etc. to to loft bits into the air)...

I can’t find the specific reference, but I remember Robin Renzetti and Tom Lipton talking about using Charbonnel Aqua Wash Etching Ink for spotting, either alone or mixed with traditional spotting blue. While trying to dig up the reference (lord, is trying to find years old instagram posts...

This seems to be a trend. I think the last time I was at the Centre Block site, they'd implemented a 'gloves all the time' policy.

I picked up a full face respirator five or six years back, lightly used. Four Irish guys living in a basement, had all been working polishing stone cladding, all quit and sold their gear. Even with a full beard, I find I get a decent seal for nuisance dust. It looks like it’s sorted for now...

I was curious about that listing, thanks!

I bought a pair of those goggles from Lee Valley years ago. At the time, the offered tinted lenses as well, which I bought, and like for extended brazing work. The limited peripheral vision is sometimes inconvenient, though. I was using them while torch-cutting apart a crappy workbench made...

One other consideration, depending on Philips drive size, is coated bits. I picked up a set of insulated Wera screwdrivers for work a few months ago, and the #2 has some sort of diamond coating. It's quite grippy, though I have to think it will either wear or become caked with debris and need...
