Is it dangerous cutting mdf bead board

Is it dangerous to cut mdf bead board inside? I read that the dust is not that great for you. I made a few cuts tonight in my cellar. I had a mask on, but not sure that it was approved for mdf ...

I did get the dust all over the place, but cleaned it up mostly. I should've just cut it outside, cause it makes such a darned mess!

Am I going to die?

Your dust mask should be fine. After all it isn't like this is something you do everyday for years.

More likely the wife will take care of that with all the dust that is now in the hose settling over everything!

Leveling a heavy piece of furniture

I

Icewing726 on Apr 18, 2018

I have a piece of furniture that Im attempting to level. I have some shims under but determined i need a thicker version. Any advice on getting past the old ones? Just hammer a prybar under and then push in the new one? Will the new shims work the old ones out? Additional info 1) Furniture is wood surface is carpet 2) old shims are 3/16 new shims are 3/8 (both are wedge)

How to refinish wooden knife handle

D

davider on Apr 27, 2018

I have 2 old sharp kitchen knives I'd like to keep rather than toss. But their wooden handles are mostly down to the bare wood. Each handle is 3.5" long, each one with 2 rivets solidly attaching it to its blade. [B] Is there some sort of colorless shellac I can brush-on [/B]which will preserve the wood from further water damage? A "food grade" product would be ideal, so I won't worry about any residue getting onto my fruits & veggies! PS. Not having---and not really wanting---a dishwasher, I wash all utensils by hand using rubber gloves.
