Can an Oxy/acetylene torch be used to make a 2 1/2" boiler? I see in my local paper a fellow has a used one for sale tomorrow at his garage sale. What might be a good price for such a unit? I don't know if it will include the tanks. I have tried the two fisted Mapp gas method but I need about two more hands for flux and solder. And it takes too long to get up to solder melting temps.
