I use Moretti glass to make my beads My torch is a GTT Cheetah I use 2 O2 concentrators w/propane for my flame. There is a glass rod in my left hand and I am melting onto a steel rod called a "mandrel" in my right. I wrap the glass around the rod as it melts it. Once I have the base bead made, I can add colors and shape it.
