Sharing a woodworking shop with HVAC
My new shop is on the unfinished side of the basement. Because of this, I am sharing the space with the HVAC. When I bought the house I knew I would have to protect the HVAC from as much sawdust as possible. I have not started on that project but I will this week.
I received an email from a reader(Jimm G.) suggesting that I make a filter to cover the return air duct that is in the shop. I believe that is a good suggestion but I am looking for other suggestions from someone who is involved in heating and air and is also a woodworker.
All the ductwork is sealed at the seams with a paint-on sealer. I bought a roll of aluminum tape to seal any missed spaces.
