Didn't know that, so much appreciated. I have a friend who is a welder that I'll be calling. Going to get a cart tonight. I have a manual. Looks like I'll need to do some reading.

Andy ~ when you need to practice cutting & welding, I'll bring my '71 Superbeetle down so you can hone your skillz. The pan is rusted out a bit. My feet don't get wet yet but it may not be long.

Bring it down Chuck. The turkeys need a new roost.

A cart is an excellent first project. You have a welder now, for making things like carts, racks, and burn marks in every bodily crevice.

I bought a hand truck. From that I'll make a cart. Half way done.

Dog, bring that front lip up way higher on the cart, weld like an 8 or 10 inch wide peice of steel to the front of it... ill see if i can find out where my unc gets his glasses at, those green hard plastic goggles hurt like hell after a while...
should work great for a backyard cutter/welder...

Sadly, that's the best offer yet but I'll pass for now. Thanks anyway...

Well that was easy. Got my three tanks, 150 O2 tank, 80 Acetylene, and a 40 C-25. The guy took a quick look at the valves, asked what was inside previously, didn't even check the dates. Got my torch kit as well. Gonna burn some stuff up this weekend! Hopefully not myself.
What's the worst that could happen? You will learn to weld. You will decide to build a boat (drift boat or sled). You will go fishing in the boat you built. While running whitewater, you will hit a rock, sink the beautiful boat and drown. Welding can kill you. Be vewy, vewy, careful!

Don't know if I got charged demurage but fuel tanks do have reverse threads.
Thanks for the heads up Alan. I thought catching myself on fire was the big issue.

Well, I've burned through a "150" tank of O2, and an "80" tank of acetylene. Getting the hang of it. Hunter even got into the action today by cutting up an old siezed up 80 gallon compressor. Haven't set myself on fire, but I have managed a few minor burns. From the scrap we have cut up, we have paid for the torch kit and the gas. I call that a good investment. Haven't used the C-25 on the mig welder yet, but I will probably do that once I have a free weekend. Then I can build a boat.
