I made a room 12x12' with 7 mil plastic, The door is 6x7' and rolls up, It has 2 Zip Wall zippers on each side. this has contained all the shavings and 90% of the saw dust.

You probably don't have a radon issue in SC, but for those who live in areas with radon, you might want to do a radon test inside the 'bubble' just to be safe, if you create one in your shop.

Paul, I see you are running a DC. Are you also running an air filter for the space itself? Just wondering what you, and others with similar enclosures, are doing to mitigate dust once you contain it?
