I have just found something which really helps keep my workplace
clean and neat.

I purchased a 1gal garden sprayer (they kind you pump up to pressure)
and fill it before I do any work in the studio. I use the spray of water
to trim on dry pieces, to wet silicon carbide trimming disks while
trimming pieces, to wet clay or dust that is created. Then I use my
wet/dry vac with a squeegie head to clean up the puddles. THis
seems to keep the dust down quite a bit and provides me some
extra moisture in the air to keep floating dust down a bit.

Just a thought from a newbie!!!
