I had made a new “contraption” for my workshop. Sanding metal makes a huge mess. And just because I wear goggles and a respirator while sanding, it doesn’t mean I’m okay with the metal dust particles left all over the workshop.
So I often sand outside, but that entails carrying all my stuff out there and of course I never remember to bring everything I need on my first trip out.
Here’s my current solution.
- I took a regular cardboard file box and cut off the top.
- Then I cut two “arm” holes in the front.
- I taped Saran plastic wrap to seal the top.
- Then I took some latex kitchen gloves, cut off the fingers, splayed open the wrist portion, and taped them to the two “arm” holes.
Now I can sand inside the box and all the dust stays put.
Every few weeks I replace the saran wrap on top.
