    You had a torch that flares like that and you want to duplicate it? 

    While its true that one can hard solder with acetylene /air, it is
    not a jeweler's torch setup. There's a host of reasons why, you'll
    find info pro and con in the archives, although I could never be
    convinced of the pros of acet. Every professional jeweler I know uses
    propane or natural gas or hydrogen with oxy but not acetylene/air. 

    Take this opportunity and get yourself a production torch instead of
    a hobby torch. I don't mean to sound condescending but make your
    life easier and not harder. Sometimes you can be better than your
    tools but its unusual.
