I am restoring my wife's old tricycle for my grandson. The original handlebars have broken away from the stem and if anyone will have a small welder with them, I'll bring them. Otherwise, I'll just get it done locally. No big deal.

The good Dr. Haase will be in attendance. He can fix you up providing you have a good hot battery and a coat hangar. I have witnessed such an event in the not too distant past.... 8-) 8-) 8-)

I have one of those small O2/Gas rigs (back before my kit) I was thinking about bringing "just in case" but truck/trailer is getting really full!

Yeah, it sounds like you'll have a trailer full. No worries BB.

I'm pretty sure I can bring this - have no idea what space I'll really have until I get the trailer and start loading it and all the kit in the truck - but if I can I'm bringing it. Good to have something like this - light - and does a good job for what it is.

Funny Mark, when I opened this (have not looked inside in years) it was full of Flux containers, lots of fat solder, emery cloth and two copper pipe cutting wheels. Guess what my main use was back in the day :lol: :lol:

But also found a bunch of brazing rods too - I remember doing a lot of brazing with this.

Guess Chris is SOL since I only have THREE air bottles.
