    I have learned a lot and continue to do so on Youtube. I do exactly what TorontoBuilder does and that has resulted in many, many subscribed channels. It isn't always about learning as it may be living vicariously through a creators interest(s) or life at the time. I am finding some creators...

    Micro brazing torch - any good?

    I have one of these air-acetylene setups on a small acetylene tank: https://www.amazon.ca/Turbo-0386-0835-PL-8ADLX-B-Extreme-Acetylene/dp/B001J060VS. Might be right for you.

    First "lunchbox size" plasma cutter experience

    Don't hate me: sounds like you could use a router and a two flute spiral bit to do what you are aiming to do. Cheaper and likely cleaner than the plasma. Even if you take a couple of passes to do it, you might like the results better and easier cleanup. IMHO. BTW, do you mind saying what...
