Hi,
My seven year old lad loves coming into the workshop and helping out. He's also just had his first go on the lathe and turned a very impressive light pull, (thos Wilkie friction drives are great).
But, the trouble is that stuff designed to protect the wearer from flying things and dust are generally sized for the bigger person.
Face protection is fine with the Axminster face shield as this is adjustable and ear defenders seem to fit fine too. But, all the dust masks I have tried seem to either leave big gaps around the edges and so are useless or restrict vision to such an extent to be dangerous.
I have been toying with the idea of buying the Trend Airshield for myself and seeing if it would fit him with me reverting to a dustmask when he's in the workshop. Anyone know if these would be a good fit?
Does anyone have any other suggestions for littl'uns?
TIA
