Fellas, do yourselves a favor and get a good mask, not the little paper things. I've done alot of woodworking,sawing and working around sawmills and it's started catching up to me. It would also be wise to research your wood choices and know their toxicity. There is plenty of info out there on the web and in books. Nearly all woods will have a certain amount of toxicity. The exotics from south america and africa seem to be worse but we have some pretty nasty stuff in the U.S. as well. I'm thinking about going to a full face fresh air system but they aren't cheap. A good dust collector or at very least a shop vac will help a bunch. Make sure you dust collection system is grounded well so you don't get a spark from the static electricity that builds up. It has been known to cause explosions. Matt
