Thanks to you and others who responded to my post. I think I'll try your approach. I don't have a basement, but I do have a box fan which I can mount in a box in an open window. I'll cut out a hole on top, mount a work light on a piece of glass and clean or replace as needed.
The first model I've built in years is ready for painting and I think I've made a mess of it. The primer coat will reveal my sins. However, practice and patience will bring redemption.
