Lampworking safety is an ABSOLUTE MUST!

Back


Carbon monoxide IS deadly and you'll never see it coming. For anyone getting into lampworking, I can't stress strongly enough how serious this issue is. About 3 weeks ago I was making pendants and everything was fine....until I noticed I couldn't see straight, I couldn't function normally. My motor skills were for crap! Everything happened slowly so I didn't notice it. I was at my torch gagging and didn't know why and didn't think anything of it either. By that point, I was already affected and common sense was no longer reliable. Luckily enough, I got hot and tired and decided to take a break and walk outside. It wasn't till I got outside that I realized I didn't know who I was, where I was or what happened. That is NOT something I want anyone else to ever experience so please, no matter what you do, DO NOT disregard safety!! I don't care how excited you may be to run your new torch or just make that one piece. DO NOT do it without the proper ventilation!!
