Unless you have it pointed parallel to the bench surface you get to add in the upward angle.


The higher the angle the more room for flame length.


You are going to want something on the back wall to put up with hot shocked glass anyway ( Cement tile backer board works good or sheet metal if you can get it ) so as long as you are say 14 inches from the last licks of flame you should be ok.


Lots of folks mount the torch right at the edge and then add elbow supports in front ( see the pictures of a 'creation station').


Others just mount another surface that juts out a little further for the 3 foot by 3 foot torch area some kind of non burnable surface on top of that.
