Greetings,

    I've bee to the local Craft Fair in Fredericton lately and I hear
    that Bejewelled had to pay $20,000 for her torch set up, that her
    studio is acting as a test site for some new regulations that are
    being looked into. Does anyone know what this may entail, and is it
    only a New Brunswick thing, or Canada-wide? I wonder if they're
    simply trying to push small studios out of the market due to
    adminstrative boredom. That they've already changed Oxygen to Medical
    grade only (something about any of the connectors etcetera not being
    allowed to be touched by hand, that there's only person qualified to
    install the system in the Province, maybe the region. I'm worried
    about how things are going. I could always replace my
    oxygen-acetelene torch. I like doing vessel (raising) and finicky
    small construction, and will grow to a casting assembly before long,
    (also I find myself working in steel for making tools and the odd
    sculpture as well) and any advise on alternative to Oxygen to meet
    my needs would be appreciated.

Kindest,
