Then a steel container was used, and it also was a failure. At one time an attempt was made to store it in a glass bottle. Because of its low flash point and its expansion in any conventional container, storing acetylene was a problem. Gas welding, brazing, and cutting with oxygen and coal gas (would be good for West Virginia) or hydrogen came into their own in the late 1800s. The arc between the two carbon electrodes places very little heat into the base material, barely affecting the galvanized material. This became a usable welding process in the late 1800s and early 1900s that still is used today to weld galvanized sheet metal with cupro-bronze filler material. Edmund Davy discovered acetylene, and Sir Humphry Davy discovered that two carbon sticks connected to a battery produced an electric arc. The Davys are credited with two important discoveries in the early 1800s. Today it is used mostly by artists at arts and crafts fairs.

My grandfather made very strong fireplace tools in the 1940s by forging ( Figure 2). This method was used in blacksmithing even in the 20th century.
