Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

New stuff showing up on the porch. First I got my ebay special oxy-acetylene torch set up. I had a small tank set and regulators but the torch was junk. I'm hoping this $90 bargain from ebay is at least usable. A torch alone was about $60, so I figured new hoses and regulators would make good spares.

Funny thing I noticed on the packaging though. Says made in China...


But looking closer...


And closer...


Oh well.

This tubing may or may not have been made in the USA. It was definitely bent here and shipped here but I haven't checked the tube markings yet for origin.


So, in a couple weeks it should look something like this...


Ok, so maybe not a couple weeks. Or ever for that matter. But DANG! that looks pretty cool.
