Default hot wrench

I had to take apart a flimsy old cast iron camp stove today. Fifty year old
steel screws/nuts holding the cast iron top onto flimsy sheet metal. I
tried half-heartedly to unscrew them, but I knew they wouldn't budge. I
would have dug out the air chisel but I wanted to save the cast iron top to
use to hold up my lead pot over a Mike Porter burner. So I dug out the O/A
torch and flushed off the 12 offending screws in a jiffy. Knocked off a
little slag and the top is ready for the bead blaster.

I love oxy/fuel torches sometimes.

I spent some time with mine today also, cut up the 1000 gal oil tank I just
pulled out of the ground. I suppose the sawzall would of worked but the O/A
is much more satisfying.
