I have a Nortel minor too and work with 2 oxygen concentrators instead of bottled oxygen. There are plenty of tutorials on this site and all over you tube, but nothing works better than taking a class with someone. It is hard to tell angles and sizes in pictures and videos. On this site there is a spot where people have said where they are from. Try to find someone in your area and make contact.
I live in British Columbia Canada. Good luck and just keep trying.

do what you do with soft glass but hotter so your connections are good. when glass touches it should feel like it melted/pulled together. if you feel resistance it wasnt hot enough. there are so many good videos out i recc. the crystal myths and essential series are good to start. there are many many you tube videos thats a great free start up.
have fun, i cant wait to see the work
