Thanks for all your advice and wishes Guys. I am really greatfull for all the comments and knowledge on the subject. Here in the UK there is very little advice or Scrollers as there are in the good old USA. I am in the process of buying and rigging up an effective dust collection system to help eliminate further problems, especially when sanding as I now think that was the cause. Once again Thank you

Thanks for your response Julie. I am now finding out about hardwoods being toxic to my cost. I will be looking out in future especially when sanding. I must admit I have never owned or worn a mask, as doing it outdoors I assumed it would go into the atmosphere. How wrong could I have been!

Hi Jason
Thank you for your response. I have a respirator type dust mask on order. Just out of curiosity do you use a dust extraction unit/ vac to take away the dust whilst working? I thinlk a majority of my recent problem is down to sanding Ash Hardwood as this has only occured on the two occassions that I have used this wood.

Hi All
I am new to Scroliing and live in the UK. Only been scrolling two months and have experienced a problem with swollen eyes. Medics on examination state that it is the dust from Scrolling especially recently when using Ash Hardwood. I do not wear a mask when working and have not seen any You Tube clips of people wearing them. I have been advised to wear a respirator type dust mask and safety googles ( although I already wear glasses) I must state that I have carried out alot of sanding to finish the pieces made without any personal protection.
I would really appreciate your comments guys as the 'good lady indoors' thinks she may have made a mistake buying it me as a retirement present having recently finished my working life.
