Bill,Don't give up till you try it. Gas welding on aircraft parts can bemastered by most anyone with a few hours practice. The easiest way is tofollow the suggestion of going to the local High School VoTech programat night. A few hours and dollars spent will give you an idea of how youwill do and eliminate the need to buy any equipment until you master theskills. Good Luck.Bill Talbert wrote:> Well.
