Treadle Torch
This is a project over 3yrs in the planning. I bought the gas saver at the start and it’s taken me the rest of the time to slowly be able to afford all the rest of the gear.
Still in progress but I’ve made a good start.
The gas saver is basically a lever operated shut off valve with a pilot light. You hang your Oxy torch on it and the weight shuts off the gas. When you want to use it you lift it off and wave it over the pilot light.
I’m attempting to have it do that plus be foot operated. Step on the treadle and it pushes the rod up lifting the arm whilst the torch is still in place. I also need to relocate the pilot to in front of the torch.
