Can I have a go if you get one, they look like fun 

They are by far the easiest way to set light to the sound deadening foam in the back of an old Jag..

Don't ask how I know.. I blame Stuart..

Ahh, yes. The "XJ12 compact".

Or.. "Ways to risk destroying your garage Number.." well, One's clearly taken already so.. "2."

[aaronjb]

  Yes, next I'll try seeing if I can set light to things with my new welder

Definitely the quickest way to dismantle a car short of a gas axe, though!

I just want to use one to see how I get on with it.

Come and have a go with my plasma cutter if you want

might take you up on that
give me a shout when you doing something with it.

They're not as good for that as you think. Performance drop once you try cutting double-skinned panels, or flanges.

The best thing for cutting up a car is a big disc cutter, which will rip through all the awkward areas in no time. I used to be able to cut a stripped Capri into manageable chunks in 15 minutes.

[chrisgixer]

Arrived today. Disc cutter of no use what so ever for what I needed it for

Nice one Mark, thankyou.

Have fun and remember to make sure you connect the ground connection before you pull the trigger or the pilot arc can give you a bit of a belt

I take it there is some precedence to that remark

[chrisgixer]

Indeed, how does Master know this


Having finished with the plasma cutter. There was a milisecnd where I wondered why the welder wasn't working though. Hmmm, that ground clamp looks quite new "Wrong ground clamp you twonk"

[Gaffers]

Yooouuuuu plonker Rodney!

[chrisgixer]

I'm using a welding mask for this. I noticed master used goggles....?

[Gaffers]

[05omegav6]

Suspect full mask gives better protection, whilst goggles offer greater flexibility

[Gaffers]

You can't be a mad scientist the master wearing a full mask.  That's just creepy
