woot woot!!

you're gonna love it.

take the classes, but don't let them blow smoke up your ass. i took a few classes and it helps, A LOT, but you're going to run into a lot of egos as well. people will try to hold you back, don't let them. do what YOU want to do, not what they make you think should be done. this applies to your homework, at their studio just be polite and soak it all in. when i first started a lot of people told me "you can't do it like that". it was usually AFTER i had already done it. ;)

be creative, open your mind and have FUN. :cool:

i have a mirage, i love it.

if you get a phantom you'll want a mirage.

you can start on a lynx. it is the same as the center fire setup on the bigger torches. it can put out some pretty decent stuff for the size it is.

im atleast getting the phantom, im trying to get one of my homies to go halfs on a studio set up cause hes been talking about blowing glass for a while now too..if i can get him to atleast throw down on a torch then id def. get the mirage..if not then i'll just get the phantom for myself..either way the studio will be in my house so idc if he wants to throw half it'll just help me get started even faster!..about those mirage torches, i talked to a few ppl in cali that use them and they all said amazing things about it and if i cant afford the mirage then to get a phantom,and said if i can afford a phantom then to get a nortel red max..i really like those gtt torches though so im def. shooting for the phantom or the mirage for sure!..anything i can use for tools so i dont have to spend 50$ each tool?...damn tools are expensive! lol
