Hydrogen Cylinders

Anyone know how available Hydrogen cylinders are to average citizens in the states? I've seen them in every chem lab I've ever been in, but I would love to have a small job to fire up the hydrogenator I've yet to build. Thoughts?

Should be easily available from any supplier of welding gases and equipment.

Jewellers also use it for soldering platinum. You can use it with an oxy tank and not have to worry about carbon deposits or oxidation.
