Re: oxy-acetylene welding aluminum, I used to before I got the TIG setup. I don't think it's very fun. I hate the flux. Have you ever left it (the uncleaned flux) on a part that you welded and had it destroy the part from corrosion? Nasty stuff. You also have such poor heat control compared to TIG process. Ever melt away an area you didn't intend to melt? Can happen really easily. JMHO... I guess I don't miss it very much!
