Hi James,

    I will indeed persevere with my torch set-up and am 100% confident
    that I will get used to it before long. And I agree with you about
    the green glasses. When I melt silver, the glare from that is far
    worse than the glare from the flame during normal soldering, so
    thanks for the reassurance. 

    I too hope that the paranoia over health and safety does not
    threaten the passing on of knowledge to future generations. Things
    don't always carry on regardless. Trades can and do die out if not
    nurtured so hopefully the beaurocrats won't jeopardise this ancient
    trade.
