Those green glasses sound like what I have. To keep your hair from burning you could cover your head with a bandanna or a hat. If you do have a low mounted forge keep your anvil far enough away from the forge so that you don't stick your a$$ into the dragon's breath when you bend over your anvil to work blade. It took me surprisingly long to figure that one out.

Thanks Doug for all those points on forge safety.
I plan on working outside for now, but if I get a 10' by 14' wood shed, with a lean to style roof 11' to 9' high, and with front doors 10' high by 36' wide, and a rear window and one window on each side for front and side cross ventilation. with all open, and the forge towards the front entrance by the taller area, would I need to cover the beams in the ceiling, or the walls with corrugated steel or some fire resistant panels?
Thanks,
Jon
