I like to sometimes make do with what I have. I worked for 20 years in the titanium industry developing welding and fabrication processes and have lots of it around. Because of my COPD I have to have my equipment do most of the work for me so I design attachments for my equipment sometimes all titanium and get the job done. Once I get the car here I will have to figure out where to place the oxygen bottles and make brackets to hold them. It's fun welding as I have to remove my cannula and hang it up about 10 feet away, weld up one stick and grab the cannula and put it back on then repeat the welding process again, don't want to blow myself up. I had thought about an Infrared thermometer but I have everything I need right here.
