Hello all
I,m Dag from Bodø, Norway.
After some 30+ years in active duty, I retired from the Norwegian Air Force 6 months ago. Being an aeronautical engineer by trade, I was so fortunate to get a 4 year long assignment to Fort Worth from 2015 to 2019. My wife and I loved every minute of our stay in Texas!
When the almost never-ending winter in Bodø presents yet another re-run of last weeks storm with sleet and hail from the North-west, I sure do miss Fort Worth. Mild and short winters, friendly people, excellent barbequing, microbreweries galore with awesome beers, tons of culture, sports, attractions to bee seen and activities to be done, you name it!
Of course, when winter becomes long, dark and dreary, it is definitely a good time to do indoor activities, like some decent woodworking
However, it did not take long before itching eyes and coughing revealed to me that I will need a better protection against wood dust than just a disposable dust mask.
And there, just floating around in the big Google cloud, I found this excellent source of knowledge, experience and information in the AAW forum! So it was actually my search for a comparism between respirators, JSP Powercap and Trend Airshield that led me to you.
Thank you so much for having me.
Currently I am in the process of building a garage to make room for my projects and for the carpenter tools i inherited from my late father a year ago. Hopefully I will have the garage in place by the end of November, and can then start looking for a lathe.
My brother was the lucky one to get my fathers old lathe, a Luna, but I do not think I will have a hard time finding one on the Norwegian equivalent to Craigs list.
Cheers
Dag
