Default Ambitious beginner — which torch

Hi everyone!

Name is Florian— I am from Austria, and new to lampwork.

Torches and equipment are not easy to get here, since it seems, that the hobby lampworking is „out“…some shops closed, beadmakers are just a curiosity here…

I want to start big, since I have to order everything in UK/US I want to get a good complete package (transport and taxes are a big deal…)

For the start I am looking for a good torch:
—beadmaking ( Even larger beads)
—small hollow works (pipes, small glasses, Christmas stuff)
What would you recommend? As I want to do detail work and larger stuff, I think I have to go with a 2 stage setup, with pedals?

I would use 1 or 2 OxyCons (total 10L/min)

Maybe you have an idea about a suitable kiln too?

Many thanks!
Florian
