I am a beginning silversmith and recently purchased a Meco Midget
torch, a 20CF oxygen tank and 15 lb. propane (bar-b-q type) tank. I
was planning on using it in the attached garage where there is a
built-in workbench. The workbench top had a chain saw on it, so there
was some oil leakage. I plan on getting sheet metal (probably
aluminum) to lay over the entire top of the bench. My problem is that
the hot water heater is also located in an open closet area of the
garage, so I know I should not leave the torch in the garage when not
in use. The only place to store the torch and tanks would be on the
back porch (covered but not enclosed) or in a storage shed located
about 30 feet from the house in the back yard. On the positive side,
the shed has two windows which could be left open for ventilation,
but on the negative side, there were also tools stored in there and a
lawn mower, the result of which was also oil leakage. In looking at
the pictures on the BenchExchange, it appears that some people do
keep their propane torches inside their studios, so I would
appreciate any feedback or suggestions from anyone regarding where I
should store the torch and tanks when not in use.
Thanks.
