I've been thinking about this issue for the last couple of days and I've
come up with an interesting problem.  My workshop (aka garage) has a
number of chemicals in it including acetone, mineral spirits, MEK and WEST
System epoxy.  Plus, there are various types of sawdust with different
levels of toxicity (yes, some woods are significantly toxic).  Since an
adequate workshop would be a requirement for any community I would be
interested in moving into, what do people think would work?
