Default Building a workshop in my basement?

Have you ever seen an area where TIG welding is done that is sooty?

Did Jeff ever say he was going to do precision Machining?

Are there millions of basements with furnaces? Do they not get enough
air to operate?

My guess is that you don't have a TIG welder.

covered, along with the occupants, in a 1/4" of soot and grinding dust.
Welding is messy and there is no way it can be compatible with precision
machining. The fumes from welding are usually poisonous and they can be
corrosive if the humidity is high (as in a basement). Yes, ventilation
can remove the fumes but it will require make up air, and in a basement,
where does that come from?

There are probably a hundred things that can go wrong in this basement
welding scenario and a genius would be hard pressed to name 25 of them.
