I just changed careers and moved, and need to fit a lot into a "two-car" attached garage. All mechanicals are in the garage, and the garage needs to include both a gym (non-negotiable domestic agreement, i.e. wife said so), and needs to be my multi-purpose workshop (some wood work, mostly electronics and metal work).
I I have other means to weld and cut, but not really to heat (anneal and bend). That includes a Thermal Arc 250 GTSW (fixed frequency AC/DC inverter Tig) and a Powermig 300 (multi-process with pulsed mig), plus project multi-process/Tig welder and plasma cutter projects.
So am I crazy to sell my last O/A set - a Smith aircraft torch set with AC-4/125 O2 tanks, tips within the 1/7 rule, cutter, gas saver, and Tinman lens? I don't anticipate too many auto projects any time soon (2 year old son), and don't like the idea of the house boiler/furnace sharing the garage (~3000 cubic foot empty, a 6x12" vent at ceiling and floor level, and a 8" flap vent just above the boiler). It seems like I could meet the needs if required with a turbo torch or weed burner (pull the propane tank from the BBQ) to heat/bend/anneal.
Anyways, thank you in advance for your thoughts and/or support...
