The flame is not as hot but for making glass beads using the glass rods from Tuffnell Glass it is great. If you are using just normal glass rods this is brill and really keeps the cost down. I make two coloured beads by rolling a plain white rod around the mandrel and then roll a clear turg glass rod on top and they come out a lovely mixture. Or the lastest is cream first and then a clear tan glass rod and it comes out all stripped. Everyone loves my necklaces and they are much cheaper than a box of chocolates as a present. Your site is great. regardyvonne Caine Hi
