    I've been presented the opportunity to buy a second-hand(used once)
    water torch and wondered if I could ask for some advice from the
    group?! 

    Mainly, I fabricate earrings and pendants out of sterling silver but
    I hope to expand this to include gold and PMC. I've been using a hand
    held butane torch to date. I'm not keen on having large canisters of
    gas at home but I do find it difficult to use the hand held with
    small soldering jobs - this is why I'm curious about the Water torch. 


    Is a water torch suitable for an amateur? Will I find the flame too
    small? I realise that I still need something else for annealing,
    would the combination of my hand held and a water torch be enough for
    most jewellers needs? 

    I've only just started out so have an awful lot to learn!!! I would
    greatly appreciate some advice from the group. 

    Here is a link to the water torch: http://tinyurl.com/3ckdr3 

    Anyone using this model out there.....how do you find it??? 

Kind regards
Corrina
