The same alcohol that made you stand there and fill your sinuses with it? :)

I have used a dust mask for years.

No, I dont drink and touch tools at all. But admittedly it was dumb. I have never had a problem with many types of wood before. Then I sanded some wood thats either sapele or mahogany and I just hit the floor.

Some of the foreign woods become micro light dust more than heavy dust that settles, I think that might start the ball rolling.

In case anybody was wondering, the set made five smoking hot, giant embers right in a row. Then I drilled through my hearth and stopped for the night. Im tickled it worked so easily...........this time. It is softer and wears quicker than Tony's healthy basswood drill and hearth did.

I wasted all but one Scott. I was amazed at how quickly it made embers. Less than 20 seconds Id guess, I just couldn't stop making em'!

Is that an ERC kit you used? Nice work cave man!

Whoa! That looks wild! You weren't lying. Any pictures of the finished kit? I'm guessing it looks really cool.
