Would this set be appropriate for building a house out of shipping containers?

Hello in response to your question no this is for using to heat a surface then use a medium for the metal and job requirements.I recommend a arc welder called a stick welder or mig or tig depending on the material and requirements .Doing research on metal type and available methods practice practice and patience are key and a steady hand. Hope this helps.

No! This is a small torch set ! Not a toy , but looks like a kids set ! Portable and handy for small jobs ! Does not come with a cutting attachment !

I wouldn't recommend it for that, more for small jobs. If you have metal siding , it's possible it would work but again probably not the best approach.

They're pretty stable, the number of shelves shouldn't compromise it's stability I'd think. They would be good for outside use, depending on where it would be you may need to weigh it down at the base though.

It would be fine for small jobs. Tanks would be too small for extensive use. Made for portability. I have a larger setup for bigger fabrication needs.

Yes. That would be a good idea. I would suggest you use treated 4 X 4 around the perimeter with a couple cross members and marine plywood though

To be sure, there is VERY little building. For instance, one day might be a mini figure, the next a mini ship (maybe 10 pieces). The excitement is waiting for each day to come to open the next. In your case, I would recommend the regular sets.

I would think so, since each product box has to be shipped the weight has to be accounted for in the price of shipping.

Unless you plan on moving this set often; it's fine.Be careful when positioning the set by lifting...not sliding the set.

Yes beyond a doubt this combo would be an excellent set for any carpenter apprentice or professional. It will last you a long time is powerful and very well designed.

I would say not so much. 5507 has more just blocks, no trucks or cranes or things like that. I does have some windows so a house or building can be made. They were purchased for my two year old great-grandson so were not a complicated set. I hope this answers your question.

A lot of the pieces could fit into a tube that size. This is a great set, but, apart from the potential choking issue, they might be quite frustrating for a small child to build with. Also, you need at least 2 sets to be make interesting buildings. I would recommend a Melissa and Doug type building set for a library instead. There's sets out there that aren't as expensive as M&D; ones. Discount school supply often has blocks on sale.

It would be perfect for that use. I have them to be sturdy and well formed.

a 30pc set wasn't enough for what my kids wanted to build so we added the 62pc set, its a good place to start and see if theyre interested though since theyre so expensive

Yes. But, I would not use it "all day" for that task. It's fine for a project. Not building a tree house.

One container should be more than enough. It covers from 80-100 square feet.

It is a very good quality set. The corners will get slight rust in the welds, but will hold up well. I use mine for a mobile business and it is very durable.

I would think very well. It is very portable and easy to store. A little wood and a match and you would be all set.
