[Jewelry making - Article 00151] - [Orchid] Silver and Bronze casting - electric melter, or torch?

    For someone just getting into silver and bronze casting, and doing
    it in a basement/garage, would folks recommend a small electric
    melter (Kerr electromelt or similar), or a torch? 

    I'm leaning towards the electric melter for my own perceived
    convenience, ventilation, and safety reasons, but wanted to get a
    reality check just in case I'm being short-sighted in my decision. 

Thanks!
-Bill
