- A quick extra video on a new piece of kit. I watched a few videos on the Trend Airshield Pro and noticed none covered the first assembly as it comes in parts for self assembly, I also do a quick first impression review.

Wood turning can be a dangerous hobby. My videos show my methods of turning and if you do not feel comfortable with my methods please do not copy them but rather use a method you feel comfortable using. Your safety is your responsibility as is the safety in your workshop. Enjoy the videos, hopefully something inspires you or helps you along the way. Irish woodturning is a craft that is dying out and should be preserved so that the tradition of Wood turning in Ireland stays alive and well.

Like most everyone Shay I find the external mike sound clearer. Great instructional video as usual
Cheers Richard.
Shay
Thanks, Shay, for showing us this helmet. It looks really useful! With respect to sound quality, I preferred the sound from outside the helmet. Inside it, there was too much noise from the breathing system.
Thank you Stephanie.
Shay
great demo, outside microphone worked well.
Thanks John.
Shay
I've been thinking of getting one of these the past few weeks. Thanks for the info 👍
Well worth it Jojo.
Shay
H i Shay have had the aircap now for about 6 months and find the battery on the back balances the unit perfectly it is very light and regularly forget I am wearing it and go to scratch nose .
great video as usual
Thanks Nick, I have done the same thing mate.
Shay
Great video shay, I have been looking at one of these for a while now, they look the part, hopefully the longevity is there
Cheers Niall, from what I have read about 10 years of heavyish use seems to be average mate which sounds great to me and spare parts are easily available trenddirectuk.com/power-tools/spare-parts/safety-products-spares/airshield-pro-spares.html.
It was one of the thing i researched.
Shay
Positive pressure on the inside, I use one the amount of dust in the filters is unbelievable. Get 1.Ernie smith from brisbane Australia
I have a spare set ordered Ernie.
Shay
External mic. Thank You Shay.
Cheers Billy.
Shay
Just watched your airshield pro assembly video. Very helpful. Don’t know how I’ll go doing it with one arm. I think I can get the filters on without completely removing the top. Also mine just came with the clear protective lense already installed. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks Ian, glad it was helpful. Yes you can change them without removing the lid. It hinges back far enough to do it.
Shay
Hi Shay, I have the older version which still works well.
I think the outside microphone worked better for me.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
It seems to be a great bit of kit Huw mate.
Shay
useful video shay. I got one a couple of years ago, and it came pretty much assembled. it also came with a little tube thing for testing the air flow and a useful bag to keep it all in. it is a really good piece of kit but with one big but - after two years, of not a huge amount of use, the battery lasts a very short while, and a replacement battery is expensive. I have a bad neck and it is very comfortable, though in cold weather I have to wear a motorcycle balaclava under it or the blast of cold air buggers my neck. I find it very comfortable, and very effective. Regarding sound, I also prefer the outside mike.
Cheers Mick, yup I found the tube stuck to one of the booklets after I had done the video.
Shay
Excellent video as usual Shay. Thanks for taking time to show us all the tips you learned! For me the difference in the audio was negligible and my hearing is bloody awful 😉
Cheers Darrell.
Shay
Also, I tested the voltage at the charging port and it read 3.85v, so it’s close to fully charged already. I’ll let it charge for a few hours and then tackle my spray painting job. Not willing to risk destroying my optical glasses with overspray. The last attempt with no glasses didn’t go so well
I would say not mate, my own glasses have dots of CA all over them.
Shay
Be sure to look for the air flow meter, mine was taped to the bottom of the box and I nearly threw it away. Randy
Thanks Randy, I found it after the video taped into the instructions.
Shay
Shay I use the same unit when doing most turning and all sanding. Like you I’m in my 70’s and worry about abusing my lungs. Great decision in my opinion. The headset inside is very noisy. The outside mic is better but you still hear the air moving. Probably a bigger time commitment but consider narrating after turning. Without doing that the outside mic is not too bad.
Thanks Victor , I tried the narration thing and found I just did not like it and to be honest was not very good at it. I suppose I am just a live waffler. Yup we have to look after our lungs my friend.
Shay
Id vote for the regular 🎤
The one inside the helmet has way to much air noise.
Thanks for the video I've been deciding on if is should get one.
Thanks Vinnie, I would go for it, well worth the money.
Shay
A slight difference in sound from inside the helmet it was louder but we can still hear you. At the end of the day your health comes first so as we can still hear you reasonably well I know which I would choose. Hope this helps
Cheers Steve.

Hi Shay. I thought that the second mike was better as the noise from the motor seemed quieter.
I have used one of these for a few years now and found it excellent. I did buy a second battery as
they always run out half way through a job plus it makes a beeping noise when they start to go flat
and its annoying. Good info on putting it together. Cheers
Cheers Steve. I think a second battery is in my future as well.
Shay
Cheers Steve. I think a second battery is in my future as well.
Shay
Hi Shay, great video as always! To my ears mic outside sounded better, I was looking at getting one but $655.00 Canadian on sale is a bit steep for my wallet.
Wayne
Mine was €350 I don't know what the conversion rate is Wayne.
Shay
Thanks. Would have been even better if we could see the video, or the face shield install, and with this unit on.
Doug , sorry I don't understand your question, I installed the faceshield on camera and showed every part of how to do it, if you mean install the faceshield with the unit physically on a head it cant be done, if you mean the faceshield in use as in flipping up and down it doesn't , the entire helmet flips on two points on the headband.
Shay
I didn't think the sound was a problem with either configuration. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Cheers for that Golf2Actual.
Shay
I’m in agreement with others. Outside mic sounds better.
Thanks Clyde.
Shay
The first one had a lot of air noise. I think the second one is the best.
Thanks Roger.
Shay
Outside Shay you don't hear the air blowing as bad. That is a nice helmet. How hot is it? Georgia US is hot in the summer lol
Thanks Jane, it is very cool due to a curtain of air flowing down your face.
Shay
The regular mike I feel sounded best. The sound of the fan was much louder withe the headset mike. Your voice didn’t change that much between the two but the fan noise was much louder with the headset mike.
Thanks Aaron.
Shay
The fan was very loud with the inside mic. It is still audible with the outside mic, but not as bad.
How hot would that thing be in a shop where the temp is often in the upper 90s F?
Thanks David. The curtain of air that comes down over your face is quite cool. It was a warm day when I did this video and inside the helmet felt very cool.
Shay
Great video. For some reason my helmet isn’t charging any reason for this ? I turned it off while it was charging. So I’m going to try leaving it on while it charges.
That is what i do Ben, and remember the battery has to be "trained" amd shoudl always be drained for the first few charges. Like the phones from a few years ago the worst thing you can do is use it for a few minutes then charge it or to keep it charging when not in use.
Shay.
@@BBTurning I’ve not even used it yet pal so do I have to leave it on charge for 24hrs
@@benhutton7298 That is what I did Ben and I have charged it quite a number of time up to now and the battery lasts around 6 hours or so.
Shay
@@BBTurning okay mate when charging to you have to turn the helmet on or do you just leave it off
@@benhutton7298 I turn it off Ben.
Shay
Everywhere I've read says flatten the battery or they get a memory, are they OK to just charge as needed or kept charged?
It seems like you have to teach the battery like the old school phone batteries Kev. The first few times run the totally flat then fully charge them. That is what I did and I have no problem with it so far. Probably the worst thing you can do is to run it down a little bit then put it on the charger or put it on charge every time it is used.
Shay
I think the headset was clearer and louder.
Thanks Mark.
Shay
Mine takes forever yo recharge!
How old is it Jon? if you don't mind me asking.
Shay
@@BBTurning About 2 years.
@@jontoolman It could be the battery needs replacing if it gets heavy use. trenddirectuk.com/trend-air-p-4-8-hour-battery-air-pro-uk-sale-only-or-authorised-export-distributor.html
Shay
Can hear u OK
Thanks Owen.
Shay
The outside Mic is better
Thanks Kevin, that seems to be the concensous.
Shay
I think outside is better, in my opinion
Thank you Judy.
Shay
Thanks for the reply Judy,, sorry about the very late reply I have just now been notified of your comment.
Shay
Honestly there isn’t much difference in sound from inside or outside
Ok, thank you Ron.
Shay
right where a a mask with air going in and our .......i where glasses ,,,,,,,,whats the diffrens
It is just a step up Mark, before this I wore a 3m mask and safety goggles or my fire brigade helmet if the piece was dodgy at all.
Shay
External is better
Thanks Norman.
Shay
