Wise words about Gas welding equipment Perks..when i was at night school (over a decade ago) we where shown am Accet bottle that exploded..would not like to be near one..
Brings back memories that does..before we where even let near a Mig..Tig or Arc Welder we had to make damn good joints with gas welding and brazing..and test them by destruction.
I have a nice Tig set looming..very sweet ESAB invertor..not quite the rolls Royce like the sets at work, but for intended purposes, spot on.
Shame that Wednesbury Tech does not offer welding courses anymore, that was regarded as the best one in the country in its time. Excellent tutors.
Glad all thats over though..

I have a TIG welding set waiting in the wings and a fully equipped space to do it, building a frame has been on my mind for a while.
Typically it will be a Mountain bike frame I want to build, in good old steel.
I did find somewhere to purchase MTB drop outs, threaded bottom brackets etc but I'll have to dig it up again as I have re-installed windows an stupidly did not back up my favourites. Some nice Ritchey parts as well.
Bonding them together would not pose any problems and if I sweet talk work I might be able to get heat treatment for a frame (s).
All that eludes me is the jigs/fixtures to build one, I can't seem to find nothing at all useful.
Be nice to see some brazing being performed as well, been a long time since I saw any form of Gas welding.
Interesting thread!
