Kent White used to come to Oshkosh and give aluminum gas welding forums and gas welding and english wheel demonstrations. He was very entertaining and didn't mind making fun of anyone who asked what he considered silly or stupid questions. During his demonstrations he would occasionally use his welding torch to heat up his cup of coffee or tea he always seemed to have sitting there. Gas welding aluminum fuel tanks was the norm many years ago according to what I believe he said in forums I attended. I haven't noticed or even looked to see if he was at Oshkosh in the last few years. I've thought about him and wondered if he was still coming at times but haven't thought to check while I was at Oshkosh. I found this youtube video of Kent gas welding two pieces of aluminum together today while thinking about how I'm going to make my fuel tank. If you are interested in gas welding at all then you may enjoy watching this.
