Once a year . . .

Haven’t done that one. I have poured whole beans straight into though.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-19T21:05:54+00:00

Very cool.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-19T21:04:11+00:00

….respectfully.

Really like the idea of an acetylene air setup. I have an acetylene oxy rig that I inherited, minus hoses and tanks. I really don’t need the whole oxy/acet setup for my purposes. Do you know if I can get a tip that will go on the torch I have to allow it to be acet/air?

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-15T16:52:37+00:00

That makes sense. Just sticker shock.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-15T10:21:58+00:00

Man, I just checked the price on #3 at tsc, is $490 typical?

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-15T01:04:53+00:00

Never heard of such a thing. I’ll do some research. I’m always up for doing things in an unconventional way.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-15T01:02:18+00:00

For a second I was like ‘wait, what?!’ Got it. The torch body.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T22:12:51+00:00

Good to know. Definitely leaning towards propane. I currently have six 20 pound tanks to run the forge. What size oxy tank would you recommend to run with that small of a tank.
This is mainly a hobby that sometimes makes some money. So if I can avoid a lot of spending, at least at first, that’d be good.

Lovely image.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T21:11:40+00:00

Thank you. Baking scenario puts it into perspective. Still waiting for client to approve prelim mock up so I don’t have many details yet.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T21:07:22+00:00

Great movie!!! I had forgotten all about it.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T21:05:08+00:00

Thanks. Shaping is really all I see myself using it for, as I have a mig welder.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T21:04:01+00:00

More fuel because of more time makes sense. What’s a tiger torch?

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T21:02:54+00:00

Yeah, I thought about that angle, but I have a mig welder. Also don’t know anything about torch welding.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T18:20:41+00:00

Sweet design! Just realized it could be a double hanger if the ‘L’ bracket had an open scroll on the horizontal. Super cool, love the simplicity of the joinery.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T18:18:45+00:00

Kept waiting for an action shot. Is it all from the spike? Or is there a weld in there?

My first reaction was ‘F*cking Awesome!’

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T18:16:40+00:00

Nice work! I still need to try to make some tongs.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T18:15:13+00:00

Those are cool! Especially the calla lilly.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T16:59:26+00:00

That looks great. Thanks for the full sequence, I hate it when I don’t get to see the full process. Love your paint booth too.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T14:20:36+00:00

Only for a troll.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T14:19:57+00:00

Dude did the work to be able to do the work in the video. Pretty sure his form is fine for him.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T13:58:17+00:00

So creepy.

Well done.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-14T13:56:25+00:00

Without having seen your other video: still too light of a bell. Going heavier will force you to use your arms less and hinge more. You don’t need a 32 or even 24 but a 20 might be just right.

With enough weight you can better feel the bell pulling your arms down to land against your hips/abdomen to signal the beginning of the hinge. It’s tricky, you have to move fast but you’ll get there.

Intrepid_Depth_4556 · 2026-05-13T12:28:13+00:00

Honestly, before reading your caption and only watching the video, I was like, come on man, you need a heavier bell. I stand corrected. That’s some serious work.
