Space Cadets

These guys (Phillip & Alan) just love their space suits when working. All good for OH&S they are keen to keep their lungs working, while working at what they enjoy.

Phil has a on a triple protection mask with active carbon filter as the last point of defense. He says that if he smells lacquer then its time to change the filter. He also has the cleanest damn spray gun, well maintained and kept useful and active over many years.

Alan was plugged into the wall with an umbilical like he was ready for a bioterrorist attack ... well in a way he is those wood particulates are an active source of disease for woodworkers lungs. A good precaution despite the Space Cadet appearance.

However, all the masks in the world can't keep the dust off his clothes, shoes .. (and the shed floor). Kevin lends a hand cleaning him down with the air gun (taking particular attention to keep it away from the face and eyes).

All that was worth it for Alan
to produce another work of art.
