Great Oxy acetylene video

[Kaizen]

I just watched this and wanted to post it here in case anyone is looking for a good beginner or refresher video on oxy acetylene cutting and general use.
I found several great tips and facts that i was not previously aware of even though i've used my hobby set up for years.

The weld.com YouTube videos are usually good to very-good.

@ 6:38 - IGNORE his comments about "special" yellow thread tape - BOTH of those fittings use the threads ONLY for pulling the two halves of the fitting together. If those fittings don't pass the leak test and a small additional turn doesn't fix the seal, it's time to look for burrs on mating parts or replace. @15:00 it looked to me like he actually HAD a leak, but ignored the bubbles?

Couple other assumptions I saw, but overall it's pretty accurate... Steve

yea that struck me as strange.
I think they created that leak to show what the bubbles would look like.
