Saw dust disposal
For those of you that have too much sawdust and need a way to dispose of it and keep warm at the same time.

This one's quicker and more spectacular.
YouTubeI got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

Our science master at high school in NZ in the early 60's was Ron Walton. One of his projects was a paint tin with a candle and small funnel inside. The funnel had a tube out the side connected to a hose with a rubber bulb on the end. He'd put something combustible such as fine sawdust, flour, icing sugar in the funnel, light the candle and put the lid firmly on the tin. Then stamp on the bulb, dust would ignite and blow the lid off the tin and 20ft into the air. It was a great experiment but Mr Walton was eventually banned from doing it because the loud explosion would scare the c..p out of the unsuspecting kids in adjoining classrooms. I should mention that we did this outside.
Cheers,
Geoff.

Sorry, Bohdan, but I think that is a really silly solution - gross over-engineering.
My three step process for disposal of saw dust and shavings, proven over 40 years is:
- Put saw dust in paper bag,
- Put paper bag in wood stove,
- Light,
- if stove is already burning omit Step 3.
It works.
Cheers
Graeme
