Advice on sourcing gear

raydator

Hi, I have just started wood turning course and have just found out that i require some items.

Can anyone help suggest where to buy the following and please note that i would need these items delivered to Wexford before my next course i.e. before Monday.

1 smock, 1 dust protector and 1 face mask.
I don't mind if its a dust and mask all in one.

Any help would be great!
Thanks

Any decent hardware shop will have a face mask and a visor. Turning smocks ( as opposed to a simple apron ) are specialized items and you will probably have to mail order from someone like www.axminster.co.uk.
I have a Trend powered respirator and find it great but its a bit bulky unless you are turning irritant and dusty woods like iroko when it comes into its own.

I have a woodturning smock from these guys, and it's great, definitely recommended ...

I got mine at the Axminster show in England when it was still going and got my name embroidered on it while I waited

You could probably get one delivered through ParcelMotel if their delivery costs are too high.

Get in touch with your local Chapter, Gorey or South East Chapter and they'll point you in the right direction.

Go to the All Ireland Woodturners Guild Seminar in the Radison Blue (Airport) hotel - admission to the retail end should be free, and you will have a good few woodturning suppliers in Ireland there - if not, ring me in the morning before 11am, and I send some out to you by fastway - www dot woodturning dot ie . Failing that - try Robert O'Conner in Gorey, he may have all you need.

Thanks Stanley, I will drop up to the Expo and have a look. I am holding off on the smock for the moment. But you will be my first port of call if I need one before the Expo.

Thanks.
