Get a hothead Hawk. I got one and a whip for a big tank. I have SS mandrels just need some bead release.

Got to round up some gear little by little.
If he's working with boro, a hh won't do.

Hawk: You don't really need the claw grabbers. Just drop your marble into your marble mold and turn the marble around, attaching a cold seal punty. It's a lot easier to handle than the grabbers. Just my thoughts... but others agree! lol

I'm in Maine so can't help with torchtime in my little studio but I hope you find someone nearby.

Good luck with your job search.
