Masks and filters. Masks and filters. Masks and filters. Can it be any clearer, folks?

Didn't bother to click it after reading the responses.
D.C> how do you smoke while wearing a mask?
Do you poke a little hole in it?
I just watch the dust go up the D.C.

No smoking in my shop...there's too many flammable chemicals.

There goes my idea for a Oleander Pen. I was going to ask some of our Southern Turners...[]

jwoodwright,this doesn't mean you can't make an Oleander pen. Just take the proper precautions when working with it.

Yes, Masks and filters are VERY important but did you know that nerve tissue in your ear does not heal once damaged by loud noises! When turning on that table saw, band saw or planer remember your ear protection!

A neighbor across the street becme sensitized with some sort of exotic and now can get swelling in his hands even with some of the domestic woods. He rarely turns anymore. Sad.

I have seen that chart before but thanks for posting it again. I get a little lax over a period of time. You just can't use to much protection.

Greg, great post. I had a chart from college with the same information, just haven’t been able to locate it. Seeing how I’ve started turning more woods I wanted to post this information next to lathe. Thanks[8D]
