I started with Bullfinch AutoTorch (4100) a 4 bar propane regulator, a standard 13kg propane canister and some vermiculite blocks to make a little insulated hearth. (This works fine for silver lugs, brass less so). Practice turning the gas off/knowing where the valves are, and have a decent fire extinguisher close by, just in case. Keep your work-space tidy and free off flammable debris . I've only slightly singed something I didn't mean to once. I think. Hopefully. Extinguisher remains happily unused. It's totally worth it for the pleasure of creating things you can cycle on.
