Hi Cyndi,

    The big difference that I see with propane is that the tank is
    ordinarily kept outside. You may have noticed this is common to RV's,
    trailers, mountain cabins, and even outdoor grills. So, if you want
    propane for your shop, put the tank on the outside of the way and run
    the appropriate piping. I'd keep the high pressure tank of oxygen
    inside. 

    Propane must have excellent ventilation for the tank. The usual
    exception is the tiny non refillable tank that screws on a camping
    grill. 

    The fumes from the flame are not any worse than acetylene or natural
    gas or methane. Good ventilation (a hood and fan) is needed to get
    rid of the heat and metal fumes. Hydrogen of course produces only
    heat and water.
