Welcome Michael, I generate a lot fo sawdust as I mostly chainsaw carve & used to be asked constantly when doing an on site carving "Oh can I take this nice curly sawdust for my pet?" I had to warn people not to take & use the sawdust. Back then I was using regular petroleum based chain/bar oil which is highly carcinogenic & as of now I have been using Canola oil in all my saws for 2 1/2 years & no longer haul all the sawdust away & worry about disposal & clean up. When I am done a job I remove any pieces of wood & I just simply rake the sawdust around on the grass & a month later these spots are growing better than the rest! I compost a good majority by mixing with clean soil & use it for filling my back yard, the remainder I burn.
Thanks, Robbin

Welcome to the forum, great bunch of people on here and lots of help if needed. As for saw dust I just inhale it all and then have my lungs pumped out once a month, keeps the area nice and clean.

Michael, Welcome to the message board. Being such an organized person that I am, I planned ahead for the problem of saw dust and wood chips. I built my shop with 12 foot ceilings. There're down to 9 foot ceilings now.

Michael, welcome to WCI, I've seen your ad in the yellow pages in San Antonio, just never made it to your side of town. Look forward to seeing more. (checked out your web home page, will go back soon.)

Hello and welcome to WCI, my chips go in the garbage can as I have a gas fireplace. Actually I have saved basswood and cottonwood the fine dust for make a repair glue.
