Yes! If the hose is good, keep it. If the Ox regulator is good, keep it. Buy a propane regulator with a gauge and run the hose to it. Usually gas runs at around 2-5 and Ox between 5-20 experiment w/ your torch and see what YOU like. Check all connections for leaks using soapy water. Growing bubbles ...

Mitchel will need the help whether he knows it or not. The conferences are always nutty and no useful person goes unpunished! Cool for Lachezar. Is he back in Europe or what? From what I understand of boats, a spinnaker is the triangle shaped sail in the forward section of a sailboat. So when you sa...

One book to keep an eye out for will be by Rene Culler. I can't remember when it is going to be out- I think in one year. But it is planned to be BIG with BIG pictures and useful sections explaining why glass does what it does in the kiln environment. So it will be pretty enough for a coffee table t...

Hoknok, Do your nieghbors give you such a hard time about your name :roll: Anyway, some people catch water off of their wheel with a large tire.
