(Mods, feel free to move this thread if I didn't pick the correct subforum location.)
The time has come to look into a more stable casting desk with a little bit more space and a lot more ergonomics.
The idea is to take one of these:
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=202996399 (or similar)
Make three walls of concreteboard for flame resistance (fluxing flare-ups) and stick a lighted oven vent on top, then use drier ducting or similar to get the fumes well out of the garage. It has to be 20" or narrower so I can put it on the side of the garage and still get both cars in -- but I don't want it just bolted to the house with a fold up/fold down table if I can avoid it. Mobile to put me towards the middle of the garage seems a bit safer.
I like casting inside the garage with the door open to stay out of the sun (casting is hot enough,) but don't like how the fumes tend to swirl even when I've got a fan blowing at me from behind.
Any other ideas?
