I really should start wearing a mask. I hook up my hose and spray a fine mist
to dampen the dust when I am grinding. That helps a lot.
I will post some pics of raw soapstone soon. What I get is left over broken

Those folks actually ran the quarry and not a saw mill.
I cleaned John up a little. Oh I did a few pipes too. New thread
