Robb,

    Thanks for weighing in with your considerable expertise. A lot of
    metalsmiths, like myself, do a lot of DIY or buy something at Harbor
    Freight and make it work without considering that we may be
    endangering ourselves or others. 

    I didn't consider it until I found out that I was going to be a
    grandfather and my grandson would be living with us. I moved my
    jewelry stuff out to the garage to get all of the pointy, toxic stuff
    out of the house. I'm happy I did it in advance. My grandson is on
    oxygen, he doesn't need anything else toxic floating around in the
    air. 

    An unforeseen benefit from moving out to the garage is I am 10 times
    more productive with having my bench, polishing, and lapidary in the
    same room. Plus I can close the door and crank the tunes. I call it
    my studio with the big front door. :)
