First venture into Torching

[adjam1972]

After much umming and arring finally bit the bullet, threw caution to the wind and took a blow torch to my beloved Nemesis clone.

Gave it a good polish first using micro-mesh up to 12000 grit. Then knock up a jig out of threaded bar and a couple of sockets to hold the tubes and placed bar in a cordless drill. Set drill to a slow speed and fired up the blow torch.

Very pleased with the results

Liked the look so much I then decided to have a go at my 91% clone. Torching the top and bottom sections of the tank.
Also switched to the brass accent pieces.

I really need to try this.

I may start with the Caravela 500 tube as it gets the least use.
