Didn't read through all the comments for this, but I was curious if you practiced opening tanks with your hand off the valve. Not sure how to describe it, but a foreman of mine explained to me that you should always open tanks without your palm resting on the end of the tank incase the valve decided to let loose and blow your hand off. He explained that you always open tanks where you left a margin of error for the valve to come off.

GREAT videos though ! love them

Thanks for the video, would you be able to explain the difference between the fuels, is acetylene used for different metals?

Thanks.

I learned to gas weld at the age of 10, not without the signs of my learning curve, my dads boot print on my A, literately, for forgetting one step or another, then shop in school, topped with my carrer and yet I'm lax on bleeding them down. No excuses, only reasons, are they aceptable, just because you survived yesterday, don't guaranty the same today! Nice Vid! Thanks for the reminder! Changing lax behavor, Keith
