Craig, 

   I purchased the Henrob torch several years ago. It welds 4130 tube quite 
well. Of course you have to practice on some small pieces before you go and 
weld on and engine mount or push pull rods. I use 1/8" 4130 rod. It works very 
well on auto body panels too. The small concentrated plume  burns with just 4 
psi set for oxygen .  Check out Aircraft Spruce. they sell it there.   Joe Cruz

Tig is nice but the equipment to do it is expensive so I would have to pay to 
all my parts made.  With gas I have all the equipment and as I build I can make 
changes or totally redesign a part as necessary.

How about TIG welding? Is that different?
