I have noticed even when carving chips with tools like a gouge, a very small about fo dust is produced. I notice this because I am very sensitive to dust. This can be enough for me to be effected. I imagine a rasp produces a good, or bad, amount of dust.

Yep, sounds like a reaction to the wood. That is why I don't carve red cedar. My body can't take it. It is a miserable experience for me just like that. A resperator helps, but that gets annoying too. The fine dust can still burn your eyes. Even if it hasn't bothered you before it can...

yeah I better keep it it will very likely be the one and only Mason I ever own.

Sam passed the field day exam and tests! We were a little worried ass it started 5:30 PM and was scheduled to run until 9:30, past his bed time. The final exam was at 9:30 Pm as the class ran a little late. He only missed one question out of 50! I am very proud of him. The range test was...

What waders are guy getting for their kids? We need boot foot neoprene. 2 shoe sizes bigger with extra socks and hope to use them next year too?

My 10 year old, Sam just passed the test for hunter safety. The field day is next this Friday. Exciting times! Now time for a youth shotgun and some waders. I decided on a 28 ga pump considering his size and stature. Time for me to sell a bit of my decoy hoard to pay for his equipment...

Cloth backed sandpaper strips. I start with 45 grit and then 60, 80,and 120. The strips are either loose, shoe shine method, or on a bow sander. Which one I use depends on the spot to be sanded. You can buy the strips in rolls for some grits and others in sheets to be ripped down. The...

Steve Those are giant business cards! Sorry. I haven drank my coffee yet this morning. I couldn't help myself.

Guess who is going to be running health care in the US? The person who sent the order to close the Parks last year, Sylvia Mathews Burwell. I hope everyone stays well and doesn't get sick. I can't say I have a lot of faith in someone, that fenced Veterans out of National Monuments.

I would try it with only a vey small hole to let moisture escape and cover the floor as well. It seems you would want the air inside to be very close to 100% humidity and to have the wood on release its moisture relatively slowly and in a controlled way. That is what I think is the difference...

My father-in-law has a couple boxes of Winchester Kleanbore 300 savage. One full box and a partial. Also one box of Winchester superspeed W3005, 300 savage. He doesn't collect that type of stuff. Where should I sell it for him? Any places online? Just local classifieds? How much is it worth?

If, you go with cedar strip, use 2 layers of 6 oz. cloth on the outside. One layer is NOT enough for hunting. Nothing worse than seeing you hard work ruined before your eyes one small bump and ding at a time. Don't ask me how I know.

If you try to go too light you will sacrifice strength needed for hunting use.

I use Swiss Made Pfeil gouges and will give suggestions based on their sizing, but other brands may make similar ones. An advantage of the Pfiel is they come razor sharp. The first thing you do is make a sharpening block with it y cutting a grove with is in a block of wood like basswood. The...

I use Phthalo Green for mallard heads.

Phil does indeed attempt to teach kids ethics. He preaches the Golden Rule, etc. Remember it is not unethical the want to kill ducks AND eat them. Nor is it unethical to shoot a duck's head off. Then eat it the duck. Gruesome, maybe, but not unethical. He does not even imply that one...

I don't think it is apples to apples comparing what Phil said (about getting what amounts to a clean and humane kill) to poaching. While I certainly would not have put that in ad, it is not illegal. What would be worse would be him saying he likes to cripple ducks, then ring their necks, if...

Indeed many want to be blessed with wealth like winning the lottery. But most often it is a curse. Just look at what happens to lottery winners. They don't all live happily ever after. But you need to read all the way to the end of the passage: Mark 10 23And Jesus, looking around...
