I'm running my laser, the oxygen is flowing at 45 psi and, I begin wondering: "okay, when does my basement blow up?".

Go ahead, color me uneducated, but it wasnt until now that I realized I am heading straight for a Darwin award.

Do any readers have commentary on oxygen being released directly into the lasing process? What do the larger shops do? Do they work in larger open areas, ventilate the O2 away, or not worry about it?
