It can be done!

The good part is, nobody needs to tell you that the second time.
Bone, same as seashell, is so noxious when worked, well you will just 
naturally take your own precautions the second time..........

   Don't believe me? Walk up to a spinning grinder and press a piece of 
seashell to it.
You'll --run-- from the room in 20 seconds flat!
EEEEEyowza that stinks!  haahahaha

   When I work either, I work directly in front of an exhaust fan, with 
the door open on the far side of the room to let in a steady supply of 
fresh air.
