Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I was asked to be the head of the welding and metal area for a nonprofit called Maker Nashville. In a nutshell, we make things! Things like gasifiers are definitely in the mix 
Most of our equipment is either donated or loaned. we currently have MIG and arc welding and plasma cutting. Adding a mill and a plasma CNC cutter table. If somebody wants to build a gasifier in the Nashville area but does not have all the needed tools, this is a great place to come too. Lots of very very intelligent people.
My gasifier has been on hold due to time and space constraints. Now I can spend more time with it but with more tools! Arrr arrr arrr!
