As I showed respect for their knowledge and skills, they always tolerated me watching them work. This presentation of proper torch use is right up there with the best tutorials I've ever seen. Outstanding job. As someone else commented: it must be THOSE guys who gave it downrates.

    Thank you for explaining WHY on so many things, because it's easier for me to remember how something works than a procedure without context. If you haven't been an instructor, you should consider it, because you absolutely nailed this. I expected to watch 10 minutes of mostly review when I had some downtime, and was glued to my screen to the end. I'm not a pro, but I have never seen anyone make such a clean cut with a torch. I can help on the scarfing term a bit. In woodworking, a scarf is a long shallow bevel that can be used to join wood to make longer boards. The scarf tip looks like it was meant to cut long shallow bevels also.

Some of your instruction I've never seen or known about...like OSHA concerning the tank size for Rose-Buds. AWESOME! SEE, Old Dogs CAN learn new tricks...LOL I sat here enthralled with your presentation and the especially More important DETAILED WHY's. I'd only ADD having a really good size Fire Extinguisher handy and mention wearing COTTON underwear....yeah, learned that one when I was still part of the Volunteer Fire Department. The pictures they should got all our attention for SURE!!! Another safety issue I've seen with some of the younger fashions....Don't wear BAGGY or loose fitting clothing and NEVER tuck your pants inside your boots. Seen guys do that on muddy sites and you can imagine that kind of pain of molten metal down your boots...UGLY THOUGHT! I'd take you to lunch as appreciation but that would be quite a commute for me...LOL. THANK YOU SIR for an all inclusive tutorial on Oxy/Acet system.

    I have taken a couple welding classes and we turn the fuel on 1st. light up. turn gas up or down till you get a nice clean flame. Then turn on oxygen till you get a nice small ideal flame for welding. When shutting down you reverse this operation. Oxygen off 1st and gas off last. This man did it perfectly as I been taught on day one how to weld with a torch. I absolutely love gas welding! One of my favorites for damn sure! been taught. After you turn the gas off it doesn't hurt to check or listen to any leaks in your tips. www.harrisproductsgroup.com/en/blog/2019/may/working-with-torches.aspx

    I recently ruined an acetylene regulator and thought it was either old age or bad gas. Now I know it was because I was on a roof and the bottle was on it's side so it couldn't fall over. I frequently lay them down and wedge them against a pipe stack so they can't roll off the roof since the roof is usually 3/12 or more pitch and a cart isn't going to work. Very informative video.

    This is an awesome tutorial. I'm about to cut up $200 worth of 1/2" steel for a coal forge firepot, which for me is a substantial investment. So it's either use an angle grinder and take all month, or get out the oxy/acetylene torch. This is exactly, step by step, what I need to know since it's been a couple of years since I've cut with a torch and this is thicker stock than I've cut before. That hose clamp tip for distance and a straight line (31:00) is going to save me a lot of finish grinding and maybe even a re-cut, too! Thanks for the time and effort on this great teaching video.

    No sir, I do not want to rupture that diaphragm! Enjoyed your video, I learned a lot. The video I watched before yours said when using a cutting torch you should shut off the gas first, If my memory serves you said turn off the oxygen first which is what I was taught in high school about 45 years ago. Also I never knew about tank size limiting my gas output but it made sense after you explained it. I mainly just use my torch as a flame wrench when working on cars but what I learned will help with that also. Thanks.

    Rules I break right off the bat here it goes. Not covering ears, wrapping my fittings in pipe tape, using a wrench to snug fittings with O rings, leaving rig fully assembled for months on end, never checking for leaks until my torch start catching fire around fittings this was from destroying my O rings, pretty sure I overdraw my tanks ''they are somewhat smaller ones'', and never cleaning tips until they stop functioning all together, using a dolly and bungy to hold up my tanks. Oh and I have suffered welders eye on at least 3 or four separate occasions, but this I have avoided most recently because it is just too painful to go through. Cheers.

    What can I say many years of welding and I did not know very much of what you said, you are an outstanding teacher, I am 79 years old and wish I had met you back in the 60's as many of us had to teach ourselves, however the junior colleges back then had fantastic trade schools, but rarely did we know about them, today the colleges seem to try and eliminate trades in favor of other subjects. Many years ago a mechanic or plumber in Russia made more money than a brain surgeon, I guess that is what our non-educators are trying to achieve today?

    Flashbacks are almost always caused by the gas with more pressure going into the lower pressure line I.E. Oxygen into Acetelyne, because 9/10 times, it has the higher psi setting at the regulator. These steps should be code or made into OSHA S.O.P.

It may be necessary to increase outlet pressures to compensate for flow restriction that may be created by flashback arrestors."

    interesting, i didn't know that there's a vacuum effect happening at the tip, tips can be damaged pretty easily , would you agree that one should be using a dabbing motion instead of getting in there in a speedy saw maner with the tip cleaners ? good that i see you shut of the the oxy first and then acyetlene , uv/ ir is produced from oxy cutting, this is why it's important to wear shaded glasses , it may even be important to even where a full shaded face shield depending on the work being done. also good to see you back off the pressure screws and bleeding the lines, i think if you don't back of the pressure you can ruin the regulator and from time to time you'll see a regulator that doesn't display correctly .
