  2. Okay, well you got a lot of irons in the forge in that pix. LOL. I'm going to use propane and not GPL. We have a giant propane maker in town and it's fairly cheap. Can I do this without welding, cuz i don't have one. I might be able to use a friends, but i'm gonna use all metal and didn't know if i could bolt it all together.


    My advice is 1St. Learn to weld before you go and burrow someone `s else machine so ya know what yourdoing and make it nicer or Get a family member or freind who knows how to weld and have them build it or teach ya!

    Sounds cool Though!;):):):)
