i'm interested in small-scale welding & metals fabrication studio. the space i have available is in the basement of a 1905-era house. i have a reasonable amount of tools (small arbor press & roll press, as well as numerous hand tools), still need torches & also to figure out what kind of fuel system i want to be using. my experience in undergrad was with air/acetylene torches, so i'm most comfortable with that, but open to trying new things.

especially interested in safety - i'm worried about ventilation & breathing in metal dust.

does anyone have a home studio? do you use an air filtration system & if so what kind? any recommendations on torch systems? i will be workin

the army is going to add it to MREs, along with something that is ominously called "zapplesauce", but weirdly enough caffeinated meat already exists, in snack form.
