>I was just looking in the Campmor catalog and they have mosquito netting to go around your bed. You could put this over the lathe and all your chips would be contained in one area. Of course you would be trapped there and probably have to sleep on the chips but hey, no mosquitos.

>Turning would be no fun if you couldn't throw chips all over the shop. When they get over my shoes I sweep the up.

>Well, I'd assume that if its a PITA to get those chips off that are stick to my clothes, trying to get them out of that netting (occassionally) would be a Herculean task.

>Try a shower curtain suspended from the ceiling to keep the chips localized. The suggestion came from wood or FWW magazine. Can't remember which.
