Thanks for the support guys, I well aware of the potential danger, I'm not the type to do something without thinking about it first!
My budget it about £300, and so far it's added up to £197 for motors, wheels, gas etc.
I will do anything that is deemed safe for me to do by the person who's helping me. He's an expert!

I'm very sorry to hear that! :cry:
We're only using low pressure - about 10 bar (145p.s.i), so not too explosive, but still dangerous.

About 1.5mm - 4mm. So quite a range.
