if they forget to turn off the tank punch them in the face. that's what my old shop teacher woulda done but if you're worried about that get a plasma cutter. you could get the portable miller with the case (i wanna say it was like a 375x) for less than 2k and if they forget to turn it off its not a big deal

well im working on getting a plasma cutter but i still will use a oxy set-up a lot.
i wish i could administer "corpral punishment" to them but thanks to the wonderful laws i cant
and yeah thats a lot of acytelene but i know some schools that use close to 3 or 4 bottles a week even with a couple of plasma cutters on site.(several are running a full blown metal fab shop)

in my class we were on our own. the teacher didn't care. he just stared at his computer all day unless he smelled my cigarettes burning behind the shed. We taught ourselves everything. all our welders and torches and the one plasma cutter got used every day. we still never went through more than a half tank a week. good times. some sweet stuff built in that shop but a whole lotta things learned the hard way

we built everything. we asked him a question and he said go to the library and look it up. half the time the tools weren't there and one of our welders was gone and mysteriously came from his car at the end of the year. plasma cutters are sweet but we were never properly taught how to use them so tips lasted a couple days at best

we had two 20ft rollers for grain drills, a 6ftwide texas bbq pit,a k5 with a motor swap, and two farmall C's going at one point. plus alot of other little stuff going. we were pretty well equiped with a lot of tools including a plasma cutter and a 50ton ironworker(my favoriate tool)
we also had a ag teacher like yours and the bad part is he is still there.
