Ok YAL... I live is the moist area of Alabama and have way too much experience with termites. A couple of things need to be said. Termites swarm when the nest gets overcrowded and food source is not enough to support them. Termites must and the important part of this post is must have water to survive. This is why they are subterranean. If they are getting into your work table is your work table sitting on the raw ground? If the termites do not have a path to the wood where there is no sun then they must build a tunnel to the wood. You will not have a termite problem in your project if it is dry and no dirt tunnels are built to it. Sun light can terminate the species. When termites are eating a house for example they come from the ground to eat and then get back to the ground they usually don't stay in the house just travel back and forth.
Keep your project dry. Also there is an ant with wings that looks a lot like a termite and only an entomologist can tell.
