I have been playing mostly with bowls. I sold an old AMT lathe and a Shopsmith with lathe attachments, both of which I had used to make spindles for an old house my son was restoring and got a decent new lathe. Friends have given me smaller logs including acacia and mesquite. Recently, I picked up some freshly cut african sumac from a "free wood" pile. I've also brought wood home from MN and OR.
Questions:
I have an old Jet Dust collector retrofitted with a HEPA filter and a cyclone. Do I need a better dust collection setup since I already have COPD.
What is the best way to protect my lungs while in my shop?
I'm getting a bit of an essential tremor where my left hand shakes some. Is there some hints on how to compensate? I'd hate to give up turning.
Bowls are staacking up faster than I can give them away. Is there a way I can sell bowls where the proceeds go to a charity?
Thanks!
