I have done my version of a restoration of a Case SC that has been in my family for 60 years and am now going to begin my second project. I do the work in my 3 stall garage attached to my house. My wife has concerns when I wire brush the old iron and the harmful effects of lead based paint dust. My goal has always been to clean up and smooth out as much as possible but not a professional job equivelant to sand blasting. Is there still a danger with lead based paint dust?
