I just try to keep dust to a minimum, which means making fewer cuts with power saws, etc.. ultimately, unless you have specific allergies, any airborn dust from wood is inherently bad for your lungs, but not as bad as the glues and preservatives in some plywoods.. so, i always try to keep dust to a minimum, wear a good mask, keep the doors open, and have a great vacuum system in my shop. if you lack any of these, nothing is better than good planning- just design such that you make as little dust as possible.. good luck- upload your pics when you're ready. cool! please send links to alex’s party and send him my best. cedar, like other woods with built-in pest/rot barriers can indeed be more toxic to work with.

BTW i am about to embark on first wood working project in many years. making painted landscape folding screens. knotty pine from the local lumber yard, and mulberry and cedar from a company I found nearby that reclaims urban trees. I was a little concerned about the cedar. Would love to pick your brain for tips. also btw halibat performs first gig and alex macdonalds annual birthday bash, at least till the cops show! isnt the sweet perfume a little toxic to the lungs as it fills the air?
