Ken I would never leave the list over a safety issue!! Thanks for the
advice!! This is what the list is for!! I also have a new house with an
exposed basement in the rear. I put in a shop and have some of the same
questions as Mr. Frank. I do have cement floors and drywall walls.
I had been thinking of simply making a few very sturdy rolling tables or
stands that I could put body parts on and roll outside to weld on the patio.
This might be somewhat unhandy as I might sometimes want to weld during
inclement weather but also would rather be alive than dead......or worse
yet.....half dead!!!
I do not plan on getting an acetylene system......but do plan on a gas
welder which might need the argon or co or whatever. If I did weld
inside......I would certainly keep flammable stuff out.....but I guess what
worries me most is sparks that might skitter away and begin something after
I leave.......maybe under a table or workbench ect. maybe a sort of wet
cloth dam of some kind around the project to keep the sparks that skitter
across the floor in one place??
A bic lighter in a pocket exploded?? do you know how this happened?? was
it leaking? or how could this be set off?? I am new at welding and need all
the information I can get!!
thanks for all the advice and it is invaluable!!!
