The long arguments on both sides miss the point that Legality is not necessarily justice.

The fault here is with the law as it has evolved. It needs to be changed so justice and the law are more closely aligned.

First, I always take rags with solvent or oil on them outside and lay them flat on the ground to dry.
Second, If the shop is attached to the house or another building, a small storage shed away from any structures is a good place to keep any combustibles. It's a small price to pay to have to go outside to get finishes or stains.
Third, having seen what a spark can do to a grain elevator, I highly recommend no open flames of any kind while there is any chance of sawdust in the air.
