[ATM] Grinding Outdoors

[artbianconi@blast.net]

You can build a small containment booth from inexpensive 
shower curtains, duct tape and 1" PVC plumbing pieces. I've 
done so many times over the decades to protect the living 
quarters from knoxious fumes when mixing vinylester based 
resin systems, spray painting composite parts and for use as a 
clean room when assembling delicate instruments. It makes for 
lightweight dust covers for my milling machines, lathes, etc and 
prevents condensation from forming when the temps shift.

And such a booth will be fine, thankyou, outside when it's 
raining! Sounds like you best bet is to set it up in the garage or 
basement. And, of course, wear a fitered mask.
