removable indoor enclosures by
Allan Adler
There are a number of crafts and hobbies that make a mess that is very
difficult to clean up. Pottery or metal work on a Sherline lathe in a crowded
apartment would be a terrible idea, e.g., metal filings in the rug, etc.

but I'm finding it hard...

working with cellulose by
Allan Adler
Is there a book that explains how to make miniature models with cellulose,
bakelite (or other photoelastic materials) safely and cheaply? All I know
is that cellulose is supposed to come in sheets that one can glue together
