I am a little confused. In your rules and guidelines you state: But yet your reply above seems to say that you don't want this as the site is out of iforgeiron control. I offered to post the article here on the forums but the reply I received from Steve changed my mind pretty quick, why would I do that with that type of a staff response. I read though a few pages of those threads and I am sure they are full of great information. It would be great though if the first 3-4 posts by the author would be edited and used to compile all the good information from the thread. This way people do not need to read through 20-30 pages to pick out all of the good information. At this point it seems obvious that you guys don't want me sharing my information here, so I won't bother. I was excited when I started browsing through these forums, thought it would be a great place to share and gain knowledge, I was wrong.

@Glenn I have given you the link to the article, I am happy to modify it based on feedback given. You would recommend that i change the section "Preventing Exposure" to include more active ventilation as a recommendation?

I was referring to "drafty" in regard to makeup air. A hood over the forge with an inline 10 inch fan exhausting direct to outside will force that same amount of air to be brought in through every crack and crevice in the "drafty" shop. It is extremely hard to have a negative pressure in the vast majority of shops, though i am sure there are some out there.

I understand that and happy to see you uphold high standards both for incoming and outgoing resources. I benefit in no way from posting a link to that article, that becomes apparent pretty quick if you take a look at the blog. I know you guys deal with a constant stream of "annoyance" in regards to spammers etc trying to use your forums as a source of traffic,. Been there, done that, still do it on a daily basis. Seems like we got off on the wrong foot, hopefully that can change.

Thanks MC Hammer, i will lookup these threads and do some reading on it. Yes, this makes sense to me. I absolutely see how the air going out needs to be at least equally replenished, maybe even more so in some cases. But in less the shop is extremely well built and sealed that exhausted air will come in as fast as it goes out and you won't end up with negative pressure inside the shop. Or maybe my shops have just been drafty. I wrote that article to help people out as i did not find much in the way of information consolidated on a single spot regarding this. I will refine it as needed to be as accurate as possible with the help of the community.

To advertise for me at least implies that there is something to be gained from posting whether it be traffic or some monetary gain. The blog which is my personal blog does neither. Maybe my take on advertising is inaccurate or does not match with iforgeiron. I am aware Steve is a moderator and of their function. I also know the mods and admins get tired of spammers, astroturfers, and shills. But usually it is also their responsibility to take the time to determine between the ladder(s) and a legitimate member. Steves responses were not only harsh but incorrect. I made a typo in my original post: CO2 should have been CO. Steves rsponse was: He never opened the page he simply went by my typo. if he would have opened the page he would have saw for example: Which shows pretty clearly that CO was covered.
-
I am not sure if you saw the link i posted before it was removed. CO aka Carbon Monoxide is very well covered.
-
Well, that was well thought out, thanks.
-
CO2 is being added (I think that is what you meant?). That blog is in no way for profit so I would hardly call it an ad, sorry if me posting that offended you. Would you take offense to me just copy pasting it here? I would think that makeup air would come by itself as you exhaust outside, it has no choice really.

In the process of starting up my first forge, while doing this I have also started a blog. The blog will allow me to easily document the journey, share what I learn, what I screw up, and record easily important bits of knowledge so I don't forget them. The winters here are harsh and in the winter forging inside in a closed shop is about the only option. That led me down the road of being safe with a propane forge, especially in regards to CO2. I wrote an article on what i have learned so far and thought it might be useful for some of you. Of course if you see something I missed or screwed up, let me know and I can get it fixed. Happy holidays all!
