I'm a beginner looking to finally get started making some small beads and small off-mandrel figurines. Just for personal enjoyment. I might send them off to be batch annealed. Anyways, my issue is that I rent a condo for now, so I don't feel comfortable using a propane/oxygen set up obviously or a HH. I live in a rural area, so no rental studio space, shared artist spaces or lampwork classes.
I found this video where an artist used a chef's torch (butane) to do some really cool pieces:

Is this a viable way for me to dip my feet in? Obviously it's much less versatile, but I'm dying to at least get started melting some glass!
