I have an approximately 10x20 space (with some unusable nooks) that has one door to my house and double doors to the outside. I just got into woodworking in the spring. Weather has been fine so I normally air it out by keeping the double doors open. Well, winter is coming and it's already cold enough that I leave the doors closed. I cut some mdf and wow is that nasty! Now I've been wearing my respirator the whole time then after I'm done, open the doors and run a box fan for a few hours. After that I leave an air purifier (I know totally wrong but have no other use for it) on in there.
Is that enough to clear the air? One problem is there's no venting other than the door. It's basically like a garage space. My only other thought was to get a dust collector, cut a hole in the wall to exhaust it to the outside and vent fresh air from the attic above. However, would that even be enough where I could ditch wearing a ventilator? Seems like a lot of work when I can just open the door at the end. Although, maybe that won't even be an option when it's super cold? I only get an hour max to work at a time.
Besides protecting me, I really don't want it getting into the house. Thanks for any insight.
