I've got one of those big plastic tubs filled to the brim mostly with pieces of tubing. Things gotta weigh 50 pounds. Has a bunch of color scrap and half made pieces in it too. What's it worth to you?

Goes without saying i hope, but if you're planning on trying to hook up a torch without a proper bench and ventilation system you're not going to make it to next week. Try to go about this with a system. If you just horde random supplies like you're doing, you're just going to end up way more confused then when you first started. Sit down, and make a list of EVERYTHING you need. Then figure out how much money and more importantly time you have to put into this and make a budget. theoreticlly you could set up a shop for between 1500-2000 but it wont be pretty. Realistclly you're gonna want atleast 5Gs starting cash. Im about a few days out from being completed with my studio and ive spent around 7 grand and spent the last 6 months setting everything up.
