- I was thinking about mounting a home brew dust collector on the ceiling.
- Not a chip collector; just for the fine dust, which is the most worrisome.
- As my shop is about 25 feet long, I figured on putting a plenum along
- the wall with almost continuous furnace filters (lots of surface area for
- filtering) and a 600 CFM fan on the far end. The filters would be on the
- vertical part of the plenum. Probably add a lip to catch the fallout
- when the fan is turned off.

- Gross ascii edge-side view of shop:

- |XX| <- plenum with cutouts for filters; runs length of shop;
