Have you priced acetylene lately? Propane much cheaper. On the other hand---to get the correct mixture--fire up the torch with a large flame of correct proportions---snuff it out on a pc of wood without changing adjustment knobs--stick it in the tunnel--let run a while-- then ignite. |

Though I enjoyed a recent newsgroup thread describing the use of oxy-acetylene to fill a trash bag for a bang or launching a dead rat via an iron pipe with the same propellant, I was interested to hear that this was also an easy way to go deaf for several days. The bang (it appears) can be overwhelming!! Brian W |

Nice idea, but unworkable in this deep****asshole of a place. I contacted several resellers, they all told me pc's are made of (cheapo) soft steel, a bit of silicon and lots of plastic. No pc's of wood available down here, I really must consider moving into them US of A where the market is so much broader. |

All of our better pcs are wood, deluxe version finely lacquered with Chinese lacquer---not that expensive Japanese stuff. |

But a good PC really needs a lot of brass tube and fittings and steam gages. Like this one... http://www.geekologie.com/2009/02/mo...n_steampun.php |
