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?

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!

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.

Thats not very cool. There are no oxygen valves Does that mean I can throw away my tank

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.

thanks

JK

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.

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...
