I found these photos from an estate auction sale online in Midland, NC, just up the road from me:

I would be willing to guess the former owner wasn't much different in age from myself. Take a moment to look at the photos and note how all the tools are covered with fine sawdust. One has to wonder if working in such an environment may have contributed to this man's demise.
It sure gives me cause to pause and reflect on improving my dust collection system. I dare say I could match some of these photos for dustiness, and that's what concerns me. Perhaps we should all look at improving our work environments so we could pursue our hobbies and careers a lot longer.
