Try searching for “welding exhaust” or similar to get ideas. There are some systems out there that are basically 6 inch flexible duct on moveable arms to place near your weld area. You can replicate this without the arms by suspending the duct from the ceiling with string and a few eye hooks. My dad has a corner in his garage where he spray paints and has a used residential kitchen hood vented outside to keep my mom from complaining of the smell. Unless you are venting to an area where a window to the living area is normally open I wouldn’t worry about filtering the air you exhaust.
