coat as in use sairbond/satanite to cover the wool face, as i did on the inside but not the very very ends. I will add more to it. My other forge setup is just plain t26 firebrick.

Jack,
He means you should paint the wool with a thin slurry of Satanite or some other refractory. Very thin and watery about like paint or soup. Applied with a paint brush. All this does is bind up the loose fibers on the outer surface of the wool so they can't get airborne. BTW, that t-shirt ain't gonna save your lungs. The airborne wool fibers are small enough to pass through that coarse cotton mesh or, in my case, the gaping huge holes and tears in my old grey (used to be white) t-shirts . You need a real respirator .... |

The exposed uncoated ends put just as much fiber out there as any other uncoated area. When the forge is running the "air flow" is out the ends and right at you toting the fibers. The stuff is deadly and irreversible over time as it accumulates and your body/lungs can not dissolve or expel it.
Hmmm.....being white and ceramic......wonder if it would be pronouncely more visible under the beam of a blacklight? Might be worth dragging one out for a photo op. Ray, I found if you get the grey ones to start with you can get away with wearing them a bit longer before the missus burns them. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

Since there is only Amy and me and she doesn't like even going out to the garage so her encroaching on the space.
As for equipment I have one desk converted to my sanding/assembly/heat treat station, one cabnet with my three buffers, one small cabnet for my KMG, one medium cabnet with my drill press & 12 disc sander, my metal bandsaw, and a table with the wood bandsaw & wood chop saw. Also have a work bench that kind of dumping ground and a large metal lathe that I have no use for. Want to make sure I do have room for wish list toys such as a mill, surface grnder (it is a wish list after all), another grinder (or two ), a full size drill press, a 9" disc and a horizonal grinder. Outside of just making damascus billets forging doesn't hold much for me so I really haven't alloted any space for it.
