Workshop4

On to some torching in the evening. This torch carries propane and oxygen, it delivers a very intense heat for a short time, the wood stops burning as soon as the flame is moved on. The camera eliminated the rather shapely jets of flame produced by the nozzle on the torch. Not a particularly noisy activity, but I was listening to something on the headphones. The wire brushing produces clouds of black dust, so I try to leave that until the end of the day as it tends to cling to all exposed bits. I wear the fish bowl respirator helmet for that to protect the lungs.
