[TheForge] U don't need

[Grover Richardson]

Most excellent!

I have found that it's colder in the South down to about zero or so.  Reason
is that our moisture is in the air and cuts through you like a knife.  Your
moisture likely is on the ground<G>.

Yes.  Didn't know about the welder's first aid kit.  Getting near the end of
the year for us.  Will look into it for our welder.

About once a year I find something on one of the blacksmith lists that is
useful for work, sometimes more often.

All the Best.

Grover,

My air hammer has an appropriate warning for hand
damage. Here is the north, it is snowing at the
moment. I have valves on a lot of my pneumatic
equipment, so when it is not in use, close the valve.
My hammer has the valve is on the back, so when it is
not in use, and I want to use it, I have to walk
around it and turn the valve.

But in the work that we do, there are a lot of warning
and cautions that we have to heed. I even got a hug
from Smokey for showing that I could control the fire
in my forge and I had several fire extinguishers
onhand.

Grainger has a Welders First Aid kit that is nice to
have around the smithy, except I have never had to use
it so far.

Jerry
