I have been trying to find pictures of a primitive welding set up gas or petrol. You could pressurise the home made acetylene or petrol in a pump up tank. Air supplied by double bellows nothing new there. The torch might be more of a problem but I would have thought an adaption could be made to a blow torch or as they are known in the UK blow lamp. Googleing the history of welding gives dates but does not elaborate on any early welding kit. Any help please.
