Please log in for more thread options I use propane / oxy with a Minor burner torch for beads. I also have
the hoses tee off to use a Carlisle CC for boro and larger scale work.
"Fusing" to make shapes and patterns and then slump, drape, or mold is
generally done in a kiln and not with a torch.
For propane, I have a large tank mounted outside a garage that is
pressure reduced and piped in.
For Oxygen, I rent 250 cu ft bottles from a welding store. That gives a
longer time between changing bottles and not get "part way" into making
a piece and run out of O2 or Propane. ( I HATE when that happens.)
