First of I've been trying to become a newbie for a while now reading contemporary glass and spinning pencils for practice

Being in Alaska not much shows up on craigslist so when It did I just dove in

I paid 1000$ and got

a aim 99l kiln digital

3 torches one is really small think it says smith on it the other im pretty sure is Nortel Major/Minor Bench Burner with Surface Mix Top Burner and third im guessing is a
Carlisle CC+ Ball & Post Mount - 4 Inlet - both torches have a waterline wrapped around them hooked up to a water pump

a Carlisle rmb foot controller

a bunch of glass all different sizes

a couple paddles and a big slab of graphite

Ill try to get pictures soon

It looks like you made a nice pick up.

Sounds like a good deal! Just the kiln and Carlisle are worth $1000.

The water cooling looks incredibly janky, especially on the Major. I'd probably take that off.

Kiln and torch for $1000 is a score, all the rest is just a bonus.

Yeah, that's a steal. The Smith is going to be your best friend in like a year and a half.

ill have to look for the serial number later
Im just stoked that im finally going give it my best.
Time to start building the studio I think if I throw another grand into this I should I Have a nice set up
My plan is to get about a couple good months on the torch and fly out somewhere and take some classes
Do you guys think it will be harder learning on a cc

Hell yeah. Way to come up on a steal. I got a red max, jenken kiln, tanks, regs, hoses, hand tools and a case of 25 mill all for 800 on craigslist. Its definitely worth it to check it out on a regular basis.
