    I am setting up my home jewelry studio in my finished basement and
    need advice on 2 issues: 

    1) Setting up my oxy-acetylene torch where there is a carpeted
    floor. 

    What is a good material for covering the carpet to reduce
    flammability? Could I use something like galvanized metal or another
    type of flooring that I could purchase inexpensively at my local
    hardware store and lay over the top of the carpet? Taking the carpet
    out is not(unfortunately) an option.  

    2) Building a ventilation system 

    What type of systems do other metalsmiths and jewelers have? What is
    adequate for one jewelry designer making a small amount of work
    every day? How did you install the ventilation systems? 

Thanks in advance.
