Although an oxy-acetylene torch is also valuable for welding and is quick
and definitive in heating a frozen nut, a propane torch often works, for
a much lower cost. For a bit extra heat, buy the MAP gas cylinder
instead of the propane one.

I took an old rusty TD frame to a welder to have him cut out a portion to
save. I thought he was going to use a cutting torch. He got out his
sawzall and cut right through the thing! And these were the big box
rails.
