    nice to see the old style :
    no [ goggles, gloves, earmuffs, face mask]
    I suppose we should be thankful for 110

    Eh,sorry to say this but.....HE IS wearing protective glasses and ear plugs.You need to look again.

    I have 2 pairs of those protective glasses,one is clear and one is tinted for working in strong daylight/sunny conditions.They are great and very comfy to wear when working.

    Ponddigger, where did you get the plug & feathers? I've been searching high and low for them.
