Default Turning in a Crowded House?

Mark, you have two problems. The one you mentioned and the other one is
your lungs. Casper's post took care of the first. The second is a lot
harder to work on, not to mention more expensive. :-) Deb


Very true on the lungs, which is why I have a mask for turning. The
curtain is really to contain the wood chips and whatever dust
possible. I use the shop vac as a dust/debris collector while I am
turning. It ports through an old dryer vent hole to an outside
container that I later empty into the outside trash. We used an
inexpensive trash can and modified for the hoses. At first I thought I
would tire of the mask, but I have grown to prefer it I use it for
everything in my crafting process. (ones for dust, paint, etc.)
