Large pile under the table saw.

What to do with saw dust?

Until you have a dust collector, let your daughter make sand castles with it until she is bored, then have her sweep it up.

Tell her it is part of her apprenticeship duties.

I burn mine in a sawdust burner similar to this but outdoors and without the inner liner.

If you have chickens you can put it in their nesting boxes.  Then clean out in a few months and till into your garden or flower beds.

Same here, works great.

Pack the mix into toilet paper and paper towel cardboard tubes, cut off a chunk when you need it.

We have 12. I use alfalfa for coop floor and boxes but will spread some in I just wanted to avoid dust in the coop.

Wax? Hmmm.

Keep some around for DIY plastic wood - just add glue

Be careful how you use sawdust from treated wood.

Throw it in the woods, or on the burn pile.

If any of the sawdust is from treated wood you won't want to do that. They preen and ingest everything around them.

Mix it with water until it's heavy and clumpy but not watery.

Use a push broom to hit any non-carpeted floors. It makes a bit of a mess around the edges, get that with a shop vac. Scoop it up with a dustbin when it's black. Almost no airborne dust when it's chunky wet.

This is FANTASTIC for concrete/tile floors.

You will be amazed how black with dirt it becomes. The floors will shine and smell great.

Compost pile. Need to add manure as it needs nitrogen.

Home made? I've never heard of this!

I'm heating my wood shop with propane, and dumping hundreds of gallons of sawdust into a pile out in the snow.
