What are all the extra doodads on the new torch?
the top burner torch is a premix. it'd the same size as what i have now, though mine is a surface mix. with a premix i can change tips. it gets hotter as well. use for detailed or hella hot stuff. the lower torch is FAT. gives me a nice big flame. takes me an hour to make a 1 inch marble right now. people say i will be able to do it in 10 - 15 mins now. all the do-dads are the knobs and lines that control the gases.

That's pretty cool, I assume that will use a lot more gas though.

you get the new one ? ... how much are you gonna sell the minor for ?

my new torch arrives tomorrow. the minor most likely will go up for sale. bongsmilie

they run 200 new. mines used. ;-)

you have to get the regulators, hoses, fittings and tanks as well, though. the quick connectors, hoses and flashback arrestors ran me close to $200. regulators run about $150 for the set. i'm renting tanks at $12 a month. new one run about $350. the kiln was $600 ..........................................

I'd say just due to the mere progress you've made it's well worth it.

you ever try thinking of designs based off of animals/reptiles/etc? when I look at pipes sometimes I think their designs come from animals or nature, as it really does show us many designs for us to copy freely.

just an idea ;)
