I did alot of gas welding years ago we didnt have a metal hanger in the house. My dad bought a new lincoln in the 70s when i was 14 i wired it up and went to the library and checked out both books they had on welding. L did alot of welding but when i was in my late 20s i took some stick weld classes i learned more there in the first 2 nights than i would have learned in years working as a welder. If i can some day i want to take some classes on gas welding. When i got out of high school i took my first pay check from runing a AC HD 11 and bought a new Harris torch set. I steal have it had most of it has been rebuilt. The best $140.00 my hole check that i ever spent.
