DIVING HELMET! If I had these capabilities I would make a diving helmet fed with an air hose from the surface

[@Kevni12]

Thats some great work you guys showing there. What would the price be for something like this ?

[@poelgeestglass]

Looks nice and warm ;-) Is that acetylene you are using, or just Propane?

[@MAGATRON-DESTROY]

Propane and oxygen by the looks of the flame but sometimes hydrogen and oxygen are used

[@solarwarriorkek]

Great piece!

[@halogenburn]

Huh, are they gonna put that in an annealer to let it slowly cool down, or is that it?

[@TheDankSelection]

who designed the torch? so bad ass! 16 heads!

[@LCmusicBlog]

its a beer mug for the giant aliens

[@gpayton7890]

how did you get away with just shutting off the torch and not cooling it down first?

[@2s7a2m7]

That's a huge bong

[@poelgeestglass]

Propane alone. Good job! I know it is not easy to heat these big diameters..

[@szsz8657]
