I started this thread when I saw all of the newbies struggling about the cost of a good fan...

or the building of a good barley box ( exhaust system) or the price of a concentrator, torch, regulators, some of the nicer glass colors etc. They were either complaining about the costs and asking for ways to 'get around" the costs of equipment or just in shock about the high costs of the right equipment.

My first thought was ohhh boy, they are already in trouble and they haven't even really started yet.

This is an easy hobby to get into with just the HH kit. But that is only a little "SAMPLE" of what lampworking can really be about.


Fishbulb...Me too, same thing.

So Newbies, if you are reading this , the truth about this hobby is it will cost you THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS if you are serious about it.

Maybe yachting is cheaper???? I have always wanted to go to the Galapagos Islands....

or maybe I should just buy some more silver glass?
( Storm tutorial did it for me)
