Hello all! I know this question has been probably been exhausted, however, I have been doing some research and asking some questions on other forums but haven't quite come to a complete answer. My question is what kind of safety equipment should I buy in order to protect myself when forging? I am interested in forge welding, bladesmithing, blacksmithing just really about everything there is to know. I have a coal forge and I wouldn't be buying a propane forge anytime soon so what kind of respirators would I need and glasses? I know dydimium glasses aren't useful for the applications I am interested in. Do they sell a pair of galsses that protects UV, IR, and Sodium flare? If so, what is the best brand I should purchase? Also, since I am forging in a semi outside place (it's in the pole barn with doors open) what kind of dangers would I be facing which would call for a respirator to be used? Thank you for your time!
