Eventually the basement will be filled with my railroad empire, until then it has to serve as woodshop, laundry room and general household overflow room. It’s the woodshop that creates a major headache towards running trains and building the railroad. To aleave the dust problem I made Dust Screens as shown… they are removable (attached with Velcro) and they roll up and out of the way for times when I don’t want to go through the extra work to remove and store them. So far, they are working great. Made of 12 gauge vinyl with loop material sewn on. Hook material was purchased with adhesive backing for attachment to my lighting valence. I also included tabs to hold the screens in the upright position as needed.
Here is an overall view with 1 screen rolled up
