Very nice looking crawer, built the same year I was born. And now with the shine of stainless steel gasifier, it will run for another 73 years God willing. Love all the stainless steel work you are doing. ---

don, yes, i weld all with the batteries, i cut the 1,5 mm welding elektrodes in half pieces, so there is no trembling with this kind of fine elektrodes… ![IMG_6582](https://dow.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/c/0/c015e69487f0580d1a7a9da73d666abe34e94981.jpeg) some more pictures…the bypass valve for starting…so gas must not be forced through the water, what is also impossible with a hand blower ---
