"I've seen workshops that are nigh on dust-free," marvels furniture maker and woodwork instructor Ryan Saunders.

"We've understood so much more about the safety of our lungs," Saunders says.
From high-pressure extractors to high-quality filters, there are more tools than ever before to protect the lungs of people working with wood.
Better dust collection was at the core of a company launched in 2024 by Chris de Jongh, an engineer and woodworker.
