Yep, some of that went on, I think the porcelain lining was giving a little trouble as well, but it worked out about right in the end.

Thanks for the comment, that is correct technique.

You had difficulty cutting because of 2 things

Your flame was carburizing (adds carbon)

Your tip was dirty

Use more fuel gas until the smoke stops, then slowly open the preheat valve and adjust the flame to a focused jet. The preheat cones should be about 1/16 of an inch long and be sharp. Next, depress the cutting lever and adjust the preheat valve more if your cones become jagged.

This will help produce a clean cut at a much higher rate than the current rate. As well as being much safer

I also am green with envy over the anvil. How heavy is it? I'd guess 330lbs. Do you know the maker?

Wonderful video. Nice use of a huge lathe. And nifty anvil (green with envy)
