Blacksmithing Safety

When it comes to blacksmithing you really have to give some thought to safety. You are working with metal that reaches temperatures that can seriously harm you. And you are hammering on metal that causes hot sparks to fly. And these sparks can also cause serious damage, particularly to your eyes. So I highly recommend you take some precautions when it comes to safety. You should read more about it and I will be posting more information to help you be safe when you are smithing.

First let's start out with eye protection. It is absolutely imperative that you wear safety glasses or goggles. Here are a few different pair to choose from.
