I needed something drilled out that would'nt fit on my drill press, so I took a trip to a little cabinet shop down the road.
I explained what I needed, and the shop foreman was glad to oblige.
As I followed him to the 2nd floor, I got the shock of my life, imagine a room 10 x 15 with 2 small windows on the long side. In 1 window is a box fan.
:eek: THIS IS THE SPRAY BOOTH!:eek:
Complete with one very happy employee ( sans respirator ) spraying laquer.
Sure happy I only needed to be there for a short time, even happier my 12yo son who usually joins me on these little field trips was home sick.
Will be taking another field trip this weekend to buy a larger drill press!

The shame of this is that the "happy employee" probably didn't have a clue that he/she was in great danger...

My buddy has been an autobody guy for many years. He finally installed a fresh air respirator. He could not beleive the difference. Not only is it Healthy for him but his paint jobs are much better now. He isn't high all the time!
