Does any one do wood work like in cabinet making or simple carpentery projects? how do you handle the saw dust problem? type of mask used? working outdoor/indoors? starting a project outdoors building all my furniture on wheels in anticipation for future limitations as this disease advances.

Jarity I wear a light weight mask, the same as for dust/pollen when working in my yard.. I get a package of 5 at Home Depot for $1.98. It's a nuisance getting used to the mask but it helps alot.

thanx Darrell,
will go down before i start and get a pkg. i was thinking i needed something more complicated and more $$ for us copd people. if it can filter pollen it must also filter dust from sawing which i would imagine has a larger x-section.
