Popular Post Foxfold Posted December 7, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 I haven't done any work for a while as I've been under a consultant with my lungs. Having scans, blood tests and biopsy. But the good news is I'm fine and can now go back to my workshop. Now lets see if I remember how to work a scrollsaw.Β Β JAC1961, jbrowning, Fab4 and 8 others 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Fengstad Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Glad you are back and can relate to lung problems, I have COPD so I mask up always, have a fan with a furnace filter tied onto it at the back of the scrollsaw to draw the dust away from me and a vacuumn to draw the dust from under the table as well as a shop air cleaner and all other tools have dust collection capabilities other wise I would be a sick puppy with nothing to do but sit, watch tv and feel sorry for myselfΒ Foxfold and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hubby has copd,Β Β I have fluid that's turned to jelly under my lung and it's displacing the lung. They think I've had a pneumonia at some point. However, it's hoped it will dissipate over time and will re-scan me in 3mths. But my lungs themselves have been given the all clear. I must admit to looking like 'Darth Vadar' when I'm in my workshop, I have a mask, ear defenders, an extraction fan on the outside wall, a vacuum, and a box fan.

bandaideman Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Glad your doing well again and hope the fluid clears out. My dad always said getting older is not for the faint of heart and he will be 100 on March 5.

I had to stop for a few months with chemo side effects. Still having them but had to get back on the saw. I hope you get back to what you were cause I'm not even close.
