Judging from the lack of response to my request to anyone being able to reccommend a reputable face mask, I can only conclude that scrollers don't wear them and consider it not essential. Many harwoods cause dust particals that are harmfull and are indeed cancerous also manufactured materials...

Hi everybody. Someone on this forum suggested I buy Rob Cosman's D.V.D. on dovetail making, but I am having difficulty in getting it. I tried google and was directed to Amazon's U.S. site but they would not ship to my U.K. address. The UK site doesn't appear to have his D.V.D. Can anyone...
