Woodworking

When working with wood whether it involves, cutting, sanding, or finishing, you are exposing yourself to many different dangers without even realizing it. These dangers include both chemical and physical dangers. One of the main things is the dust that comes from sanding wood. This dust can be very dangerous when inhaled or cause physical harm if not cleaned up properly.
