Project: Workshop Dusty Area

No, we don't want to create a dusty area as such, this is all about containing dust from those wookdworking tools that create it, and preventing it from affecting other users and tools in the workshop.

The idea is to partition off the rear left-hand corner of the workshop (approximately 13' wide by 19' deep) with a long wall of hardboard on studding at low level with transparent plastic above (to not reduce the general light level in the workshop) and with a dangly-clear-plastic curtain as the short wall.

Within the area we will build a large duct and fan system to move the dust created by tools such as the bandsaw, table saw, belt&disc sander the bags for disposal.

Sequence of construction

  1. Obtain Materials (DONE)
  2. Remove items obstructing access to girders above (Fan, sockets, etc.) (DONE)
  3. Measure accurately
  4. Fix long top rail in place
  5. Cut available clear acrylic to size
  6. Fit Vertical studs, spaced to suit hardboard panel size / acrylic size
  7. Fix short top-rail for hanging dangly-curtain
  8. Fit hardboard, pegboard, acrylic panels
  9. Cut filler-pieces for above the girder level
  10. After this, the electrical feed needs installing, followed by:
  11. Fan extraction / dust control installation and commissioning
  12. Dangly curtain install

Other Stuff

Initial plans.

Costings

Items Required 3"x2"x8' CLS studding (Gross quantities, assuming 20' x 16', excess material can be for noggins) Soleplate 20' + 4' = 3 lengths Head Rail 20' + 16' = 5 lengths Mid Rail 20' + 4' = 3 lengths Verticals @ 4' throughout 6 + 1 + 2 = 9 lengths 20 lengths 2"x3"x8' CLS studding

The studding has now arrived at the Hackspace.

4 sheets 3mm hardboard for wall panelling

We have 3 sheets of hardboard at the Hackspace. (and there is some 'stock' together with pegboard).
