Have you ever seen a clean welding shop? Of course not.

I have. The shops I've been in are usually TIG welding race car stuff and
the places have to be clean. My garage gets a llittle messy but it's
nothing that a push broom and shop vac can't handle.

They are usually covered, along with the occupants, in a 1/4" of soot and
grinding dust.

I have this vision of people emerging dark faced as from a coal mine, "Yep.
Just doing a little TIG welding!".
