Like any craft or hobby, glass working has an inherent risk of injury. Please make sure you are aware of all of the risks associated with lampworking. Some, but not all, of the risks associated with lampworking are: Eye Protection, Respiratory Hazards, Metal Oxides, Uranium Glass, Cuts & Burns, Tanks & Torch, and Muscle Strains.

This is a fantastic reference guide for setting up a 1 or even a 2 stage torch
I've been looking for videos for ages that explain this as well as you have. Thank you so much :)
I JUST placed an order for a Chilipepper kiln and some glass and tools from your website! I am so excited!! All I need to get my new GTT Lynx running now would be a set of flashback arrestors and an oxygen tank and I'll be on my way! Thanks for the awesome website and video explaining this as well. Much love from Georgia, glass fam!!!
Great video very informative and easy to understand thank you for your time
THANK YOU! WONDERFUL VIDEO! CLEAR, WORDS IN SYNC WITH ACTIONS, ETC. I JUST WISH YOU WOULD EXPLAIN WHY YOU USE OXYGEN WITH PROPANE AND OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION FOR SOMEONE BRAND NEW AT THIS ART FORM. 😊
Very nice set-up video! Another easy way I like to check for leaks is to turn my tanks and regulators on to pressurize the lines, then shut the tank off completely. I wait 10 minutes and check the line pressure on the regulator, If its lower or at zero that may indicate a leak.
Nice one
Would love to see a video on proper ventilation installation.
Thank you
You're welcome :)
Possibly a video setting up and talking about one of your starter kits you guys are selling on your website
How do you know what is the correct pressure when adjusting the propane tank? I have an oxygen concentrator instead of ta oxygen tank.
What do you recommend for pressure? Looks like you set at 5psi on gas and 10psi on oxygen.
Nice setup up thanks guys was a glass first. Thanks uploader which mountain were hiding in? So that would make the glass purple? 🙀
What are the regulated pressures
I’m thinking of upgrading to a larger (for me) torch. I’m looking at GTT Phantom 4 port up to maybe Delta Mag depending on how close to dock my ship happens to be…lol. If you could explain the triple mix hookup and a foot pedal I’d be very appreciative. I understand the end effect but am confused as to how it’s all hooked up.
We're currently working on a video for 4 port torches and foot pedals. Keep an eye out for the upcoming release.
Does anyone know if I need to report to the fire department? I live in an apartment and want to set up a home studio
Comment éteindre le tout ? (Les bouteilles d’oxygène et de gaz)
How big and oxygen tank you use
I have a GTT Cheetah running on concentrators but dont have arrestors on those. Is that needed with oxy cons?
You don't need a flashback arrestor for a concentrator 👍
For the O2 Tanks, what size do you use, and where would you find one?
The best place to get oxygen is from a local welding supply shop. We recommend getting the largest tank possible to save yourself the trouble of having to move the heavy tanks more often. The most common size of for compressed oxygen is a K tank. If you're using a larger amount you may want to consider getting liquid oxygen, but these tanks are very large and off gas unlike the compressed tanks.
Would this be the same setup for the Bobcat Torch - GTT?
Yes, it's the exact same setup for any 'single stage' or 'two inlet' torch.
I just started learning I just order u national 8m starter kit and I live in n.c towards wakeforest and dont know nobody in glass field do u have any suggestions on how should I buy my glass at first
Give us a call! Our sales reps will be happy to help! 🙏
What should I have my high and low regulators at?
Hey I’ve been blowing glass for exactly less the 24 hours and my torch shut off and when I turned it back on it started inhaling the flame. I shut the system off and checked the seals and stuff. What is this ? And am I going to blow up lmao
How much money is this to setup?
Just a quick question, can i use oxyacetylene for this? Or it has to be oxy propane
It has to be oxy/propane or some torches can use oxy/natural gas. Acetylene is not used for these torches.
@@mountainglassarts8186 thanks
Why no check valves?
The flashback arrestors act as check valves plus more. Check valves will only stop reverse gas flow, while flashbacks stop reverse gas flow AND arrests a flashback.
where i can buy one?
You can buy one directly from us - links in the description 🙏
trying to make a lightsaber?
What is the tool used to tighten the valves for oxygen and propane
Is oxygen safe?
Yes
Flashback arrestors are not needed for a surface mix torch as no combustion is occurring inside of the torch.
This may be true, but we prefer being safe over sorry. You never know what can happen when working with fire and compressed gasses.
@@MountainGlass Since adding arrestors creates more connections which can develop possible leaks I'm not sure how much safer it is. I guess my point is that you should keep your fuel lines as simple as possible. If you don't need flashback arrestors you shouldn't use them.
This looks like a GTT Delta Mag Torch. It takes 2-3 weeks to get one of those bad boys!
So wrong
Where can I buy torch?

...It's super awkward that Hacksmith lead me here...
Same.

I hate how his claim to fame is a casing for an existing product. They didn’t make shit.
@@ryangagnon5489You do realize they made it _possible,_ Queraff? People have built other things using preexisting technology before, I.e, the Wright Brothers taking concepts of Gliders from other people who made Gliders, and stuck prebuild engines into them.
Are the Wright Brothers "Talentless Hacks"?
@@Victor-056 its way different to take an existing technology and incorporate it into something you invented hence your wright brothers example, which is completely separate from what he did he took an existing product made a fancy housing for it and stuffed the stuff needed to run it into a backpack, which is not innovation if you ask me. let me give an example. if you have 2 mass produced cheap toy helicopters both mechanically identical but one is in blue and the other is in red, are those not the same helicopter? or is the color the thing that makes it completely different from the other. Also i never called him a talentless hack, he has made many great inventions that he designed himself, for example the rebar crossbow, or the v1 titanium lightsaber or the sleep pod. What I do say is, i feel like it is dumb that his claim to fame is the lightsaber when its easily the least impressive thing he has made if you look into it. I have more than a few gripes with him and the hacksmith team for their decisions but i will not get into that because continuing to argue this matter is pointless.
Who the hell taught you how to use a crescent wrench?
Do you blow glass?
He used it amazing and better than you mason
