Filters can be pretty cheap. Depends on how much filtering you want to do. As in how fine a particulate.

http://www.menards.com/main/heating-...705-c-6856.htm this link will get old and not work eventually, but it's to a 16x20 fiberglass filter retailing at $.74 ea

In the winter, I recycle my clothes dryer heat (electric and therefor $$$$) into the basement with a homemade lint water trap and a cheap furnace filter to grab what the water trap doesn't. Change out cheap filters often as needed. Only 2 of us here, so humidity not excessive, actually helps.

Personally, after a career teaching different high school shop subjects in various shops in often less than ideal conditions, and decades of summers as a carpenter, I have destroyed much of my sense of smell. I definitely think you are heading in the right direction by filtering your shop air.

Like your modified threads on the HAMB. Contemplating a similar project.
