Default Re: Show us your drills!

Ah, just my lousy typing. Propane. It's a lot safer than acetylene and doesn't carry the weight disadvantage of having to be stored in solution. Fine for cutting and brazing, You only really need the temperature advantage of acetylene for welding steel. I was still shaky after watching that video. I wonder if they had very long pipes and had the bottles at the base of the mast on the roof of the skyscraper or whether they'd had to cart small ones up to the top?

I thought this radio career lark was supposed to be nice, safe and no heavy lifting.

In the other video that goes with it, it's interesting to see serpentine elements spaced over reflector panels. But it all seems to have been up there beyond the old method of drilling out rusty bolts. But modern cordless drills must be great for these guys.
