Every knife maker I've known in the past has died relatively young......does breathing the dust from the sanders, grinders and buffers shorten our life span?
Thanks for that info........I have wanted for some time to have my shop available to my little Chihuahua girl. I do love that little girl and maybe its better that she doesn't visit me withg all the dust and Micarta dust flying around.One important thing I would like to add knife dogs is our DOGS!
The late Bob Loveless took a dog of his in for a aurtopy after it died very young. His loved buddie's lungs were caked with Micarta dust and other "grindings from the shop.
I don't let my dog into the grinding area at all! Remember that the dust hangs low and they aren't wearing a respirator.

Dave,
That is a cute little doggie, My wife gave a few of her cute sounds when I showed her the picture of your doggie in her bath robe.
I found his post about respirators, bought a set yesterday with P100 filters.
