Melting down scrap silver

[Moon Willow]

Just a small note,

If you keep gas bottles indoors check your house insurance, my gas is kept outdoors
because there always seems to be a small residue of gas in the house.

Freya, if you're looking at a little torch (or similar) consider the option of getting a reconditioned medical oxycon (oxygen generator) rather than renting bottled oxy. It's cheaper, much safer, and very easy to set up.

George, where would I start looking for a reconditioned oxycon unit??

The best bet is Tuffnell Glass - they're used by lampworkers as their oxygen source. Martin does a really good job on these, and also has spare parts if you ever need them. Mine's been going for three years now without any problems at all.

About 2/3 of the way down this page - they're £235 delivered.
