Hi guys and any gals. I'm new to the forum. I just picked up a Lincoln Precision TIG 225. I was googling around and I saw the tig aluminum training video. That was great. I need to do that for I'm guessing 40 hours or so to get the hang of it. (I have been using a Henrob oxy/acet torch for the last 20 years and there is a lot of things to learn about that too. You dont just pick it up and get great welds.)
I want to build a welding area in the garage that can be dedicated to practicing and to small tig projects. I was thinking I could frame the ceiling and walls with thin steel and put a fan on top that would suck fumes to the outside. That would take of sparks and fumes. I cant think of anything else other than to build a 40x40 shop and put the thing right in the middle.
Any suggestions on how to do that?
- Airflow (like a kitchen range hood motor, or maybe a small attic fan) with a 6" or a 12" diameter pipe?
- Size (4ft wide x 3ft deep)?
- Tabletop - 1/16" steel sheet over pressed 3/4" pressed board or ?
This is probably one of those questions that people wont want to comment on because of liabilty reasons.

I appreciate any comments.
Thanks
