Hi, all. I'm a newbie as a smith and as a member of your great forum. It's hard for me to know where to begin this post, and I don't want to step on any toes. If anyone thinks I am out of line, please let me know, and I apologize in advance. When we hear of injuries to friends and loved ones we should, of course, do anything we can to support them and their families. My prayers go out to Frosty and his wife. However, for the sake of all the metal workers that might read this forum it's really important that we don't put off any discussion of safety. I don't think that we would be insensitive to open a discussion about safety at this point. I believe that it is really our duty to address it now, especially because a dear member of our community has been injured. Frosty will hopefully weigh in on the discussion soon, but since we have over 10,000 members, I think it should be a point to call our attention to safety, for newbs and experienced smiths, too. As Ten Hammers said, accidents wait for us, but each danger that we're aware of allows us to reduce the risk. So, I urge you to consider opening the discussion now, because of Frosty. Again, I appreciate your sensitivity toward Frosty and his family, and I admire the support that this community puts out to them, but I believe that we're actually doing a disservice to them, as well as the rest of the I Forge community, if we hold off on conversations about safety. They need to be open and frequent. I apologize if my thoughts offend anyone. Thanks for listening and thanks for being a great community. Respectfully~Eric
