Hi ive been doing basic mushroom beads and simple stuff for a few months now on just map gas. ive been saving for a real torch and wondered if anyone knew any good sites or places to start looking. Also good beginner equip? And if anyone knows anyone in the des moines iowa area looking to teach just the basics i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks everyone

Go check out these places.

www.winshipdesigns.com
www.generationsglass.com (look for info about the GLDG discount)
www.frantzartglass.com

I know there are a shit load more out there, and there are some KILLER DEALS on beginner torches right here in the forums. Search the Member's Glassifieds, you will find some really good equipment/glass there.

And Welcome to the Melting Pot

Oh also, For the month of December, the most Favorable sale running in my opinion is at Generations, they usually have killer sales, and on top of it they have a price matching policy. I've got a few orders from them and everything is Tip-Top, if something is off they PROMPTLY correct it.
