scrap oxygen acetylene torch setup

I've been wanting a oxygen acetylene torch setup for a while I wound up getting the tanks a few weeks ago and with this last bit of scrap I took in I was able to buy the gauges torch and all that set up so I took this old hand truck I've been saving for this exact use and finally built me the cart and put everything together then tried it out It's been 15-ish years since I last used a cutting torch so I had to relearn a thing or two by the end I got familiar with it

71 year old man here. I took a welding class at a local community college after I retired. The main thing I learned was that I need a lot of practice to ever get good at welding. Lots of fun though. Good video.

Acet @ 4-5psi and OXY @40psi. Slow down and allow the preheat to do it's thing. If you need more heat open the Acet knob and adjust the OXY knob to get back to a neutral flame while your torch is still burning, you won't need to adjust the regulators unless your PSI starts to dip. Good job on the cart BTW.

You don’t have enough heat. Turn up the acetylene & oxygen knobs and always cut on a little angle into your burn.

I figured that out towards the end you see me go off camera I bumped everything up a little the metal was thin and I was trying get the feeling of it again 2008 was probably the last time I used a cutting torch

The tanks I bought off Facebook marketplace I found a gentleman that buys old tanks and he will get them to send off to be pressure tested cleaned and field and he sells them at a very reasonable price The two tanks you see there I paid $250 for their owner takes I can exchange them anywhere I can want The torch set hoses gauges all that outfit was 260 I think I got it from tractor supply it's the Hobart medium duty set It comes with everything you need the wrench nozzle cleaners stuff like that I suppose everything else you see the hand dolly and the toolbox I welded up on the top all that stuff I have accumulated from scrapping in the video you see there I had the original tires on the dolly and they wound up popping shortly after just with it so old and I switched them out for a lawn mower wheels the small plastic ones and they work just fine
