The oil soak is cheaper (around here anyway).

I think I missed something, but the hearth is used for protecting your work area

Well Many steam locos have plastic or composition insulators on the
axles where the drivers are pressed on. Do they ever melt from heat?--I
know they sometimes make the drivers wobble--before any steaming! With

time finding them anymore. With the
What about the Butane-Nitrous torches. Are there full size versions of

What a relief to see someone mention oxy-propane. I've been using it for
years, especially in the "home" shop. The soot from acetylene is not welcome
