Metalshop-woodshop dust partition
Finally got around to putting up a partition between the dusty woodshop and the "cleanroom" metal shop. I had found that some of the metal tools that I obtained last year were starting to rust because of the wood dust on them! Simplest practical solution that I came up with was to build a dust shield partition between the two sections. I had planned this for sometime, that's why the metal machines are laid out that way in my shop!
 |
| But first - I had to clean up all the crap from the workbench top! This took almost a day. Still not entirely one, but the bulk of it is up. |
 |
| Ack! My nice new 4 jaw chuck is rusting! |
 |
| wood dust goes everywhere! |
 |
| I have a lot of cleanup ahead of me.. |
 |
| Going to put the dust barrier as close to the rafter near the window as possible |
 |
| I used construction adhesive to attach the base 2x4's to the floor. |
 |
| I use my framing nailer to drive the nails. I put the studs in 2 ft apart and sideways since this is not for structural purposes - its just got to hold up some plastic! |
 |
| One side sheathed in plastic |
 |
| Looking up into the rafters. I have crap stored up there that needed to be moved. |
 |
| All the sheeting is up now. All the way to the roof. Sure blocks the light... |
