I want to make some bone daggers, and carve some tiny runes into the bone. I know that bone dust is crazy bad for your lungs though, as well as just generally not a pleasant smell. I'm hoping someone else knows about this hobby and can point me towards a respirator and cartridge to help me not die from lung problems, and can give me some tips on the best things to avoid. I figured I'd get the bones off ebay, and I already have a micro engraver and some dremel etching tips, but since I am a complete newb to this idea any advice is very welcome. Prep, engraving, tips, dyeing, sealing, etc. Any info is good info.

I was just going to buy deer bones off Ebay. They seem to be cheap enough. I'm also thinking of carving soapstone, so I wanted to make sure I got a good mask. Granted, I'm pretty sure I don't need one of those 200$ full face meth making respirators, but long term health wise I'd be an idiot not to get something in the 20$ range just to make sure I don't gently caress up anything. I'll check out CC and see if there's a bone thread. Didn't think about that forum for some reason. Thanks!

They might be cheap, but it's gonna reek pretty horrible if you try to clean em. To me, it's worth the 2-4$ that a deer bone costs if it's already been cleaned up and cured. If you are doing anything that makes fine fine fine dust, yea you need a mask. Even if it's a lawn one. I bought a box of those cheap harbor freight surgical ones but they didn't do poo poo. That's one of the reasons I'm looking for a decent respirator to work for organics as well as particulates. 20$ ain't much to have for piece of mind when it comes to not messing up your health.

Darth Freddy posted:Have fun making the first blade! Nah, already got that in resin Gonna just try to make some lovecraftian looking bone daggers with some runes etched in there. I have a cassowary blade from papua new guinea and it's pretty neat, and I wanna add a few to the collection. Plus, black bone blade from Sandman Slim
