What do I need for minor torch

[JLyman]

I am thinking of buying a nortel minor. If I buy it what else do I need? I know I need the hose and a flashback arrestor but what else? Or if someone could give me a link to a site that has a list I would appreciate it. I'm trying to figure out what the entire set up is going to cost. Thanks a bunch.

You need:

HOSES & REGULATORS - flashback arrestor is optional but not necessary.
FUEL - Either propane or natural gas.
OXYGEN - tanked or oxycon. An M5 is sufficient for a minor.
VENTILATION -

EYE PROTECTION - some use clear safety glasses while most prefer ACE lenses.
HAND TOOLS - start with a few bare basics and add as the need arises.
GLASS - lots and lots and lots of glass.
