Vaclav's Cape Ann Storm LT. This is my 6th build, and 4th stripper. I wouldn't be surprised if I had new allergies, because I had a stem cell transplant in August, which basically destroys & rebuilds your immune system. I have Multiple Myeloma, and I read that a large percentage of those who get it work in the furniture industry, although I suspect that varnish is a more likely culprit than sawdust.
Besides all the helpful links about dust collection, I think I really need to wear a type II cartridge mask, even when planing, because if you can smell it, you're getting it.
