    Jay, I use the torch mainly for fusing fine silver. I tried a
    plumber's propane torch from the hardware store but ended up melting
    more than fusing. Also, this is a hobby, not a job, so I couldn't
    justify cost of a jeweler's torch. 

    If money were not an issue, I'd definitely buy a jeweler's torch,
    even if it just sat on the shelf! Some people collect jewels, some
    buy art, other spend buy clothes...but I like finely crafted tools. 

Janet
