I'v got a carbon arc set up, it was good with the origional rods, they were only 6 inches long, there was about 10 or 12 of them, and when I went back for more, couldn't get any. I bought some gouging rods (they looked the same), but I can't get them to hold an arc properly so it hasn't been used for around 10yrs.

Just a couple of points,

Carbon arc pencils are available on 'a certain internet auction site' both gouging and brazing types seem to be available.

You will need a full electric arc mask for the brazing pencil attachment, if you try and use just gas brazing goggles , you'll end up in hospital with arc eye. You need to cover up your face and neck as well.
