Has anyone done sanding a stock inside a plastic bag to stop dust inhalation and to expedite the process with the least amount of mess?
I know walnut wood dust can be carcinogenic and its advisable to sand this outdoors and using a mask, it would be better to bag the whole thing up. I havent seen mention of this idea on the web, wondered if anyone had tried it.

Build a sanding cabinet and use a vacuum cleaner to sook up the dust ?
large cardboard box ,clingfilm for a window and a hole in the box for the vacuum cleaner to sook the dust out and armholes for you sand the stock. like a diy blasting cabinet.
Or one of these https://tools-paint.com/mirka-handy-...er-46551-p.asp
Even better looking than a HW35
Oh well, that's me in an early grave then, I just sanded all my stocks in the shed, no mask or dust extraction device.Originally Posted by Hsing-ee

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

Nah, if you have been drinking Hampshire water all these years and you are still alive a bit of Mercury stock dust isn't going to do anything...Oh well, that's me in an early grave then, I just sanded all my stocks in the shed, no mask or dust extraction device.

Ah yes, a cardboard cabinet is a good idea....

I like to wait for a nice day and sit outside. I don't sand too much anyway. If you strip varnish using a knife, there's minimum sanding involved.

I once sanded a stock in a plastic bag.
I nearly suffocated.

Quite a few woods produce carcinogenic dust however l would be inclined to think you will be ok it's low level not like polonium etc but if you've had long exposure to other harmful dusts or smoke the give more thought to controlling the dust. Any plastic will generate static and condense the nuisance, so outdoors ffp3 mask gentle breeze away from you would be my pick. Having observed French polishers at work scraping with flexible steel cabinet scrapers always seemed to be what they used not sandpaper. I've seen scrapers made from old hand saw blades and shaped for curves etc some good vids on YouTube about the subject . Good luck

I use a cabinet scraper. If you haven’t used one before, there’s a knack to getting an edge, but it’s a skill once learnt that you’ll wonder how you ever managed without one. YouTube it, you’ll be glad you did.
Without exaggeration, my cabinet scrapers are my favourite tools - and I have an embarrassing number of tools.

I think I had a scraper before - it was a flat piece of spring steel, unfortunately it got rusty at some point. I wasn't reall sure how to use it, was bothered it might make things too flat & polygonal. Must be a technique thing. Time to invest in a new one.I use a cabinet scraper.

Didn't have a clue about the walnut thing. I'll put on a nicotine patch when I refinish that tatty hatty

I have been working with wood for years, breathed in loads of dust, might get cancer, more likely to die of lead poisoning from the pellets though.

It's the dust from walnut that is carcinogenic, with pine and beech etc you should be OK, and you should be alright with the lead, as its in its pure metal form and not some soluble compound.
