Handmade blow torch

1992.1

Turner gasoline torches made in Sycamore, IL.

The handmade blow torch consists of the bottom, top, and handle of a Turner gasoline torch soldered to a Hills Bros coffee can. Instead of the usual pump to create pressure in the tank, this handmade torch has an air valve to add pressure from an air pump.

Although this blow torch was not made by a blacksmith it is made in the same spirit of a blacksmith who would attempt to make anything out of metal.
