I just purchased these two items from Packard.........just wondering if anyone here has any "hands on" comments about either of these two products.
I have several tool rests from Robust, and am very pleased with the hardened top surface. Tools slide across this surface just a little smoother than anything else.....and every little advantage helps! I haven't been able to get the regular interior tool rests up close to the bottom/center inside of bowls, and I'm hoping this J-Curve Robust tool rest will better accommodate the specific needs here......... If you have one of these J-rests, let us know your thoughts on it, please.......

Even though I have an Airstream, and regular respirator, I purchased one of the Resp-O-Rators from Packard. A short video of this product can be seen here.....click on this link:

Because I've made great strides in producing tool finishes that require little sanding in the past few years, I find myself using the Airstream less than I ever have because I only need lung protection for the short times I require for sanding. I've been using the rubber respirator more, but I've always hated that rubber face of the respirator. Well......I'm going to try Packard's Resp-o-rator, because it looks like it's very easy to use, easy on and off, non-powered, lightweight, and looks like it might provide clean air, as advertised. Anyone have one of these? How do you like it?
