My version of a David Smith sculpture! I learned how to weld with an oxy-acetylene torch to make this and felt very powerful. By the time I finished this piece it was significantly taller than I am (and yet my parents still insisted I bring it home from college)

(The IUPAC system retains the name acetylene, so there are two acceptable names for ethyne: ethyne and acetylene. Of these two names, acetylene is used much more frequently (figure 16.22).)

Has Door ever used used a oxyacetylene torch for combat purposes?
And on a related note would Door ever willingly break shop safety rules?

Photographed above is Florence “Woo Woo” DiTullio Joyce with a oxyacetylene torch at the Electric Boat shipyard Groton, Connecticut in 1942. Florence was the first woman hired by the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Boston, Massachusets in 1942. She was hired when the shipyard lost most of their male employees to enlistment during WWII. Her nickname “Woo woo” according to Florence came from the call that sailors and yard workers called out to her and she took it to heart. Photographd by Life Magazine she quickly became dubbed “Wendy the Welder” like many American female workers in the industry at the time. Photographed by Life Magazine @life
Note: Electric Boat was the premier submarine manufacturer in the United States during the war.

Ive come very far in my tense relationship with the oxyacetylene torch I think. It's no longer a general fear and now more like a healthy fear and respect, like a horse

i really kind of want to build one of those janky garage fishtank-carbattery style electrolysis hydrogen torches. i can think of a dozen fun things to do with them. metallurgy. a lot of metalwork really. much cheaper and manageable than oxyacetylene. also to give myself/neighbors tinnitus
