Hello David,
Gas welding will be my starting point. Like I said, I'll make and ruin some stuff for a bit before trying the tank project. Just aquired a small torch kit with 10lb and 20lb tanks. I'm smitten with the torch I saw here: http://www.cut-like-plasma.com/index.htm . Expensive though. Maybe this one: http://www.tinmantech.com/html/meco_midget_torch.php .

I'll be asking around. Any comment?
