G'day from Yeppoon, Central Queensland

[BushCarpenter]

G'day everyone.
I got into wood working in my 20's (30 years ago) after seeing a Triton Workcentre at the hardware store. I've made a few different furniture pieces over the years from recycled timber, and have nearly finished my 3rd house renovation. I'd built up a reasonable tool collection until we got burnt out in a bushfire in November 2019. Fortunately we saved the house, but the shed with all my tools (and a fair bit of timber) burnt down. I'm steadily replacing the tools, but one of my most prized possessions were the now defunct Triton powered respirators which were awesome for dust protection, particularly for floor sanding, which I still have a few rooms to do. The sanders didn't burn as they were inside the house. Anyway, I'll check out the forum for recommendations on powered respirators.
Cheers
