So I have been on the fence for a while about getting started and finally decided to go for it. I am shopping for a starter torch that will be good for marbles and pendants to start with and eventually work up to hollow forms. I have read every other "starting up" posted here in the last week and I think those torches are too big for what I want to start with. I was considering the National Hand torch with interchangeable tips, figure it should suit me for a while. So i reseach it some more and find the 6B bench model, I dont think I will ever use it as a hand torch and this way I dont have to buy the stand. I was considering the first kit #46BHTC1 for $271 with the torch, hoses and regulators http://www.sundanceglass.com/national3r.html#anchor701994 any thoughts or opinions on this package?
