Do we have a policy about the use of a personal torch in the space? Since the o/a regulators are out of commission, assuming we have oxygen and acetylene, could I bring in my gauges to use?
I messaged Rustin about the o/a torch and he said it’s functional again. I haven’t been in to look.
On a side note, I took the metal shop safety class but have zero experience using o/a. In an old post I talked about a metal stool that I need to straighten a leg on. This is a late request, but would anyone be willing to meet me tomorrow to work with me on that?

I’ll be in the metal shop tomorrow and know how to use a torch if it works out schedule wise. Glad to help
Is there a time that’s best for you?

I should be able to be there any time. Preferably between 9am and 4pm.

I’m going to be there in an hour or so probably.
Edit: except there’s a welding class, so I’ll be back later
Sam and I used the a/o torch and nothing blew up or burned down! Thanks for your help, Sam!

Yw. I was thinking maybe we could consider getting a blaster on wheels that we can take outside and hook up to an air hose through the window.
I’d love to be able to sandblast outside.

Sounds good on paper, but it makes a horrible mess. There is no practical way to contain the media or whatever’s being lasted. History has shown that people tend not to do much clean up after they make a mess at the space. I’m afraid since it is outside that would just be worse

I was able to find a way to get the stool into the cabinet and get it fairly clean but I’ll have to hit it again. My back just got too sore from bending over so I could see through the clear-ish section of the window! lol
