[TheForge] Torch, Propane

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Lynn:
Paul had it about right. Buy a major national brand so you can 
get replacement and specialty tips...Smith, Victor Airco, Purox, 
National etc. Get an adult set and  full size tanks. Used is 
often fine...sometimes cheap enough to rebuild the regulators , 
buy new tips and end up with better quality. A "pipeline" or 
medium sized rig will do most things...if you tend to small work 
an " aircraft" set up is handy and versatile.
Get a cutting attachment. Add a rosebud and specialty tips as needed.
Victor is the most common torch around and they are pretty good.
