Default not finding many videos using a hot head

I have been searching You Tube for videos for people using a hot head and not finding much. some videos say they use a hot head and show maybe a little bit then switch to a more advanced torch. any good recommendations for hot head videos?

I really would like to see someone doing some detail work with a hot head. is it even possible?

Here is one of the most informative threads on HH's. You can do almost anything on a HH you can do with a dual fuel torch as far as technique.

The HH just isn't great for boro or BE or colors that need oxygen. It is basically an air torch.

Reading this thread from the beginning to the end should make you an expert with your HH

Check out Holly Cooper's details! I believe she works on a hot head.

There is a video by .... can't remember name... but she bills herself as the Queen of the Hothead or something like that. I owned it at one time but loaned it out and never got it back... forget who. It was early on in my glass "career."

This web site has several tutorials using a hot head. They are all very well done, especially for a beginner.

They also use devardi glass. I've used some of their glass but the tutorials are also for any 103 coe glass.
