    Thank you, thank you, thank you. As someone just starting out and
    not having much practical experience, i get extremely nervous when I
    read posts that tend to imply that if I am going to do it right, I
    should get myself a 1500 dollar bench (as it will last a long time)
    and all these fancy gadgets to go along with my torch set-up. It's
    daunting and can be a bit discouraging. I love it when people write
    in about that other side of the coin and tell about how they save
    money by making their own tools or reconfiguring their shop vac for
    ventilation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not planning on cutting any
    corners on safety. I just have a tendency to be thrifty 

Best Regards
Kim Starbard
