I am just talking about a small propane torch, you still think? My granpop did it and it came out real nice, but apparently that is the only example I can find of it.

I dont doubt your grandpa did it in the past. But he would have had ALOT better metal to be welding. The **** we have now is just that :shitsweak:

Yeah I switched the polarity, I remember because it was some cables by the roll of wire that had wing nuts on them.

I had one too. Got a few good uses out of it and then it just quit.

I wish mine would have caught fire... sounds like fun:crazy:
