My lathe is contaminated

<< < (3/3)

Artie:
Yeah, Johns right, thats definately new growth... thats how it spreads... from host to host...check inside your garbage can.. you'll find loads in there.... seems to be an ideal breeding ground for the spores.....

Mate these plugs look great...almost ala Rob Wilson style..... I look at his plugs and go "WOW...I would'nt put sand on those..."

Seriously, when I first saw the post I went "oh.....bugger", this stuff wont be the next asbestos, it already IS. I believe the US has very stringent requirement for its handling and I just dont use it if I can help it. I believe its mostly the resins they use that are the issue... but I dont care its just nasty stuff.

My plugs are straight grain pine or any soft wood that I can find....

loking great, cant wait for a result from th esand... :headbang:

Powder Keg:
I really like to use poplar to make my patterns out of. Nice straight grain and there isn't much difference between the hard and soft grains.

Brass_Machine:
Artie has it right, those are some nice looking plugs. What are they going to be?

I saw that first pic and thought, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into."   :scratch:     :lol:    :lol:

Nice clean up, too!  :thumbup:

Hi Guys,
If memory serves the fear (paranoia) of MDF is not the dust but the Formaldehyde vapour that can take a time to disperse after manufacture. The dust is after all only wood fibre and therefore "organic", so it must be good for you! :lol:
