I've order the gear needed to create my first knife by hand via stock removal (half face respirator included), but I'm thinking about dust collection if/when I get a 2x72 in the future. My workshop is in a shared garage, so I want to do everything in my power to keep myself and my family safe from fine particulates. My plans as of right now are to create the spark bong/metal dust deputy/shop vac system, in addition to enclosing my grinding area using a plastic curtain (top will still be open). My primary concern is controlling air born particulates. I understand that controlling settling dust is key, so perhaps some sort of shroud on the grinder itself will help there? I plan to remove my apron/shop clothing before entering the house as well.
Is there an affordable way to control this dust with confidence? The cost and risk involved in ensuring safety have definitely cooled my motivation to move forward.
Thanks.
