Ok Craig.....you're definitely going to need a revolving sign nametag after this season - materhead / pepperhead! Wow....that's quite the selection.
And yeah....definitely use the gloves while seeding - maybe even "double bag" it with the gloves. With some of the hotter gloves I've grown I've done that in the past when saving seeds. If you want to make individual chili powder I'd suggest a mask too so you don't inhale all of that high heat....learned that one the hard way too. I have a dedicated coffee grinder that is used just for grinding peppers, garlic and other herbs now. (Although I have to admit a tiny sprinkle of chili powder in the coffee is quite the pick me up too. LOL) The fun comes when you start blending them to see what combos you like. I try to mix in some of the fruitier sweet peppers with the hotter ones for some unique blends.
