Acetylene tank stuck!

atpjewelry — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:11:10 -0500

Hi,
I just got a used Acetylene tank from a friend and the top valve is stuck. I have tried and tried to turn it, but I am getting nowhere. Does anyone have any ideas, or should I just take it to a welding shop and trade it in?

ART VS CRAFT

Nic East — Thu, 22 May 2008 15:36:41 -0500

Art is creativity-oriented, while Craft concerns constructing things as a prime objective. Craft is also about marketability of those fabricated artifacts while Art is all about Originality. Performing arts are rarely mistaken for crafts and the written arts are seldom referred to as crafts. A crafter is one who makes artifacts for general consumption without necessary regard for creativity.

I recently learned how to Sweat Solder. I LOVE this technique! The effects are amazing because it gives the piece created a look of being carved out...
