Workshop Inside House
February 28, 2020, 10:19:53 AM
I'm thinking about converting a basement room into a workshop. I do have a few concerns, mostly around dust collection. Will the dust get sucked into the vents and spread throughout my house? What other concerns should I be aware of?

Any where the dust can go it will and the fumes off the finish are worse.

What Ol bob said...I know it's tempting to go your route, but lots of reasons not to do it. I have a basement room that is climate controlled for wood storage (built it for guitar building) I also used it for glue-ups and very light sanding/fitting, even then the smells and dust were a problem.

I work out of a tiny basement shop in the corner of my basement. These guys are right, the dust gets everywhere.
When I have heavy sanding to do I usually set up my sanding station outside or at a minimum run a box fan with a filter to exhaust much of it to the outside. I also wear a dust mask. Some woods are worse than others but you don't want to be breathing in that crap.

I am also looking for a retirement hobby and have considered woodworking, but only have the basement available. Looks like I'll be doing more fishing.
