[Shop-talk] harris welding torches and blue point jack?

[John T. Blair]

All this talk about swapping out the bottles.  I've got a question.

My mig welder bottle is something like 40 or 60 cu ft. about 3' tall.
That's about as much as I can pick up.  And I don't want to carry it 
too far. :)

My dad has the o/a set up, with the Big bottles about 5' for the O and 
a little shorter for the A.  I've never asked him, and I can't remember
the last time he swapped them out.  But how in the heck to you all
move them?  I don't think I could even tilt the O bottle to get it
into the back of a pick up, if I had a pick up.

I have no idea of what they weigh empty or full.  But they sure are heavy!
