Funny you should mention this.

I went over there yesterday to look at the OA torch.
I've been looking for a small portable OA rig.
She wanted more than I thought it was worth, for a few
bucks more, I can get a new one from the welding shop.

BUT....,
In the back of the garage, was a 60 gal horizontal air compressor,
welded on top of a 100 gal horizontal tank. To provide proper
air balance between the two tanks, a 2x2 square tube was welded
between them. I think he burned a hole in each tank, then welded
the tube in with the cutting tip. I didn't go any closer than
10 ft., but could see the bird-**** welds really clear.
I don't think I've ever seen that scary in my whole life.
After I left, I was kicking myself that I didn't take a picture
of it. I keep forgetting that my cell-phone has a camera.

If anyone happens to go there, take a picture of that compressor.
It make the guy working on his truck, proped up by a 4x4, look safe.
