Todays Project - What did you do today?

Anyway they said it had been in the family over 150 years . It was built in 1831 in Chicago, Ill , has been to South America , Mexico , and now back here .
I started to take it apart and found the whole back of it was packed with "Asbestos" Yikes
Needless to say I stopped work, closed it up and bagged it as fast as I could , then called the people to come and get it . What a shame , I will finish it when they get it cleaned out , but that stuff is too dangerous to mess with . Thats how it goes sometimes .....

Asbestos used to be everywhere. When I was younger, I used asbestos to build a foundry furnace. It was readily available at the local hardware store and it could be mixed with water and formed into any shape desired, which brings up a good point. Asbestos is only hazardous in dust form. To make it safe, all you need to do is wet it down. Silicon is the same way, which is why it is now used wet for sand blasting.

How did we ever survive?
