Kit# 5 for lamp workers and glass bead makers
Item# Kit5 - Price: $399.00
This kit uses the two gas (oxygen and propane) Minor Bench Burner by Nortel. Only $139 when purchased with this kit.
Just connect this torch to a BBQ type propane tank (you may have one in your back yard) and to an oxygen tank. Most people rent this oxygen tank at their local welding supply store. It might typically cost $5.00 per month to rent the tank and about $15.00 to $35.00 each time you have it refilled. It costs about $1.00 per hour to run the Minor Burner torch.
Use this kit if you want to start off with a good solid glass bead making setup. You would have all of the same basic tools any professional lamp worker would use to make beads, buttons, or sculptures.

Glass Rod Rests
This movable rod rest is used to support glass rods to keep them up off the flame worker's workbench
for easier grabbing, better organization, and to keep the glass rods cleaner.
The rippled edge keeps the rods from rolling around.
These durable stainless steel rod holders can also be placed inside a glass bead kiln to support your mandrels.
