Drules999, thanks for the comment. I do wear a mask and I also have a vacuum system that pulls 90% of the fine dust. The hearing, well actually with over 30 years in construction I didn't learn that early enough. Now however I do use ear protection most of the time but do forget only to be reminded by the loud noises. Please comment and give suggestions, I appreciate it. If I figure out the mask/microphone, commission headed your way:)

Hey all, I appreciate all the comments and the concerns about wearing a mask. I always wear a mask when I carve however during this video I did not so I could talk and the area I carved was quick and small. I know, making up excuses...anyway I do wear a mask and have a vacuum system that catches most of the dust. Again, thanks for the concerns.

Thank you, thank you for these videos! I have looked all over for tutorials on bone carving, and I couldn't find anything that didn't cost money or that wasn't too basic. This is perfect, and you do a great job of showing and explaining everything. Thanks again!!!!

Young gun here. let's just say I learn a lot from watching you "old guys":-)

That dremel looks mean. I wonder if it's possible to carve reliefs with just simple hand tools.

@MRoberson68 Excuse me, but what is the name of that drill like tool your using?

Ran out of characters... I use rotary tools also. Go to woodcraft and look at "Wecher" motors. I have four hanging in front of me with different bits, the flex tubes do make it much easier, cool ain't they. Also they have diamond bits, a good variety pack for $10.00. I can go to the shop and let the day go... time goes away... it's a real stress release for me. You are doing a great job on the bones... gotta get one and try it!! Thanks for the idea! Hope you are ok with my information. Buzz

Hey Mike, I carve. An idea that works for me on dust. Cut a hole in a table top about 12"x8", attach screen to the underside of table covering the hole. Flip a over the range exhaust fan and attach to the underside of the table. Buy filter at HD (it is the kind that you cut to fit), fit the 12x8 hole to bring surface back to tabletop height, it took 3 layers for my table. attach a pillow case to the exhaust exit hole in the fan. Really draws the dust down. Fogged glasses are in the past. Buzz

what kinda bone is that

[DRules999]

Someone needs to produce a good dust mask with a microphone in it ...... lots of people on Youtube and PBS like the wood turning guy not wearing them so they can talk. Do you wear hearing protection when you work ? That is also cumulative in the damage....even low decibel but prolonged exposure can cause ringing in the ears which can not be fixed. I have it from being a Huey pilot 40 years ago. Worth knowing about and avoiding if you can.
