John's work is FANTASTIC ! It will be 3 years ago this coming fall I took his class at Momka's. Hope to make it back there sometime.

I wish I could go to this he is a great teacher and a great person there is no one better. I went to Wheaton this year and they had Johns
new Torch there. I thought about it for about a week and got one I just got it all togeather.I had to make a marver and a 2 stage foot pedel for it so I just got it going lastnight. I hope to make my first marble tonight if all goes well. DanG

Holy crud. I know John was talking about this when I spoke to him last, this is awesome. If I remember right it's a Lynx inner, phantom middle and then mirage outer. Think I'm going to have to get one. Thanks for posting the pictures Ellen.

By the way, what foot pedal is that on the bottom?

[Ellen Black]

Hi, I was posting those pictures for Dan Grumbling. It sure looks like a fantastic torch.

[jjglass]

Nice Dan! Great setup!

I spoke to Wally, he said the center is a Lynx, the rest of the torch lets you dial in flames from a Phantom up to a Delta Elite (actually a little bit larger.) Very cool!

Good Lord, I tremble at the thought of trying to keep all those ports clean!!! Aaaccckk...

Holy carp, that's a nifty looking thing.

[DanG]

First of all thankyou Ellan for putting these pic's on here for me you are great. I had a Phantom befor this for 11/2 years and never had to clean out one port. If you set it right you wont have that problem. I bought this one becouse I want to start making paper weights. John had a great idea when he came up with this one. The foot pedal is one I made last weekend. I went on line and looked and they want $760 for a 2 stage foot pedal. I made it for less then a third of that.

very impressive torch and very sweet looking pedal Dan

Thats not very cool. There are no oxygen valves :-k Does that mean I can throw away my tank \\:D/:biggrin:

I would love to see a photo of the face on that bad boy. I guess I have to take the class.

Great pictures and after playing with the torch for a few weeks now, it is everything I expected and then some. I would like to publicly thank Willy, Wally and everyone at GTT for another fabulous torch.

Here is a picture of mine.

Your table is just too damn clean John lol.

Nice black paint job. I just got the pedal and haven't hooked up the torch yet, hopefully I'll get to play with it this week some. Good to see you lurking around :)

Who makes that marver that fits on that torch. It looks like one solid piece.

Torch Porn! NSFW? :)

[JesterGlass]

I'm going to get my Kobuki marver from http://www.theblastshield.com/. I use a Menzies marver on my Phantom, but I think Wil has grown tired of machining graphite...
