Idea for dust filtration mask

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I have one of the dust filtration hoods that blows air through a filter and into a face mask and never really got used to using it, as its fairly bulky and gets in the way.

I have noticed a mask that Pask Makes uses on YouTube that has the filters behind the head, and it look promising for weight distribution, but still looks like it relies on your pulling air through it.

I just saw an air curtain type prototype that uses a hard hat and blows a curtain of air completely around the brim straight down to blow away everything besides filtered air. It also looks promising but again bulky and I suspect you would entrain dust in the stream of air and it wouldn't filter as well as other options.

As I fell asleep last night wearing my Cpap mask a Resmed air touch N30i nasal mask with the hose coming from the top, I wondered if you could get a Cpap blower motor, pull filtered air and mount it along with a battery either in a belt or back pack, or even if small enough on the back strap of the CPAP mask, and essentially have filtered Cpap air blown directly into your Nose.

Glue for laminating fishing net

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I've been using Titebond 3 for some trout sized (17x8 basket)nets I've been making... I occasionally get an area where I'm getting a small gap, that the clamping wasn't correct.

I've heard that some epoxy glues will fill these small voids.. but not sure where to look

And if possible, suggestion to fit the nets.. or better to just toss them?

TIA, Dave

Attachment Question, Nails & Glue?

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I am working on a dining table project. The table base is basically two ply boxes made from 3/4" maple plywith accent strips attached. The strips are 3/4 x 3/4 red oak.

The ply boxes have been painted with a flat black enamel. The accent strips have been dyed, stained , and coated with varnish. The face that will be against the ply box has dye only, no stain, and no finish. The strips will be mitered to wrap around the boxes.

The question is on attaching the strips to the boxes. I would like to use glue and nails.

Glue:I am not sure what glue would work given the painted surface, but it would have to be a product that does not leave much of a mess. I will be able to go back and touch up the paint between the strips, but I would like to avoid that as much as possible.

Nails: I have a 18 ga nailer and a 16 ga finish nailer. The concern with the finish nailer would be splitting the strips. I could also use just pain finish nails and hammer them in by hand using predrilled holes to prevent splitting. There is no option to screw the strips from behind. I also have a 23 ga pin nailer that I can use on the corners.

I am open to suggestions.
