  1. Just received my Sofirn SP10 Pro, which is my first Andúril torch.

    That’s it, this torch has ruined all other torches for me. I can’t imagine ever going back to non-Andúril torches.

    I (only now) understand the meaning of “moonlight” mode. Ramping (especially smooth) makes so much sense.

  2. One of the instructors here, Brian Gillespie works at Rhino and 3D printed this surface mix gas oxygen torch from stainless steel.

    It was fun getting to try it out. It heats nicely- the surface mix makes it much softer than a Carlisle. It basically won't liquify or burn the glass- but IS hot enough for bending, and is a pretty wide flame height (area).

    The heavier wall borosilicate is interesting. Annoying that it may need to be annealed promptly, but it could be a bit more durable... And larger? I do love my soft glass (soda lime wall thickness about 1.75mm).

    This is making me want to get the German surface mix ribbon burner. Expensive, but will probably last forever.

  3. Juggling torches is difficult because, unlike a staff or a Samoan fireknife, a torch only has fire on one end -- so, in the dark, you can't tell where the handle is.
