    Nice stuff Brayton. Just a word of caution with the fuming of metals. Check with Michael Leeds or Randy Grubb about the dangers of fuming. They have watched close friends die from the accumulation of heavy metals from fuming. Sorry about the downer but you aren’t even using anything to separate yourself from the particles involved. Best of luck to you, but check out the results of exposure.

    Thanks for your concearn. Every glass shop is different. Fuming without ventillation can and will kill you.
    I’m always as safe as I can be. I use cross ventillation which is the best kind because it pulls the fumes away from my face.
