I used to do a lot of woodturning and the only real solution is a helmet that is pressurised with either a hip or remote mounted filter.
I became affected by the dust despite one of the above and also tried opening doors and even outside with a large industrial fan blowing the dust away but eventually had to stop due to the dust affecting me.
They aren't cheap but then we can't live without lungs either.
If you know any professional welders you may be able to borrow or hire a fume/dust helmet for a one off job as most welders these days use a positive pressure helmet.
