[TheForge] positive pressure room

[Jerry Frost]

The bugs can have their corner Mikey. I don't paint, 
I'm too sensitive to low yield hydrocarbon solvents.

No deliberate pressure differentials in my shop at all, 
Walt.

The machine shop room will just be sealed off from the 
fab/smithing part with at least one window. The main 
part will have a down draft exhaust system, maybe an 
exhaust fan in the eaves if that doesn't do it.

My intent is to control dust and smoke as close to the 
source as possible. An in eave exhaust fan has to 
change out the room's entire volume several times over 
to clear it and it's just too cold in the winter to 
waste the heat. Especially seeing as I'm heating with 
wood and the birch isn't getting any lighter as I age.
