Building a carbon arc torch has been one of the simpler projects I have tackled lately, but I think it will also prove to be one of the most practical. Without an oxy/acetylene torch there are few other options that can heat seized nuts quickly enough to free them from a rusted bolt. Vehicle repairs will certainly go smoother in my shop with this torch on hand.

It's been on my mind how important charity is in the world right now, and especially for those who were already in desperate need before current events. I will just add one charity here that I hope some will give to, but if you have other charitable preferences I encourage you to donate wherever you feel it will do the most good. https://childrenshungerfund.org/give
