    Vicki - I recently finished 3 years of university level jewelry
    design after 35 years owning my own business (not jewelry related).
    When I began school I too was afraid of the torch but found that
    using the natural gas/oxy was safer in the school setting than the
    other setups I have used at the craft guild, etc. 

    My best investment has been the electronic torch lighter. I found
    the frustration and lack of reliability of the spark flint type of
    lighter caused me more anxiety than anything else. I highly
    recommend the Torch Mate or any of the numerous type of electronic
    lighters on the market through Roseco, Rio Grande or other supply
    houses. Keep trying...practice makes perfect!
