I really want to start metalsmithing and have a Gentech little torch, your information was most valuable. Thank you.......

Best beginner guide and refresher I found yet.

OMG, thank you so much for showing this!! I have been wanting to get a Smith little torch, but was afraid I would blow myself and house up!! I feel a little better about it now.

Hello there can I melt gold on this set up I need your guidance please

Do you keep your propane bottle inside?

Thank u. I’m so grateful for ur tutorial.. I want to get a real torch.. and I feel more confident in getting a set up now.

Very helpful I'm almost there!

You make this look so easy! Soldering copper is very much my big downfall in jewelry making. I have been using hard solder and making larger pieces. Trying to make hollow core beads and hollow form pieces made on a hydraulic press. I have tried pallions, tinning, wire solder, pick soldering, liquid solder, etc. with zero success. I think using a Big Shot small torch may not give enough heat to get the job done. My copper turns almost molten and the solder does not flow. I shall attempt this once again after having watched your video and switch to medium solder. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us!❤

No flashback arrestors!! Do we have safety issues here?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. Thank you for serving our country sending you much love and Airhugs of positive loving energy to you and yours

Thank you!

Thank you for this very clear explanation

Amazing, thank you

This was great. We lost sight of the ball a bit from the angle, but very helpful!

It's very useful! Thx alot.

Best video ever that ease my nerves. Thanks for posting this❤

I'm connecting mine up now. I'm rusty with connecting bottles and this helped me. Thanks

No check valve/flashback arrestors?

This was a GREAT instructional video! Thank you so much. -Manny

Thank you so much for making this video! It was exactly what I needed and the only one I could find!

NO CRESCENT WRENCH!!! That is such a NO NO, there are tools made for this and a crescent is not it. Use a tank wrench, or a 10 way tank wrench.

Finally! Somebody telling the exact propane/oxygen psi! I subscribed ! can't wait to see your other videos!

What about the spark arrestors?

Thank you SO MUCH. I’m just learning about my smith little torch. I haven’t been able to find a regular that fits the smaller disposable sized propane bottles which is what I currently have hooked up as it came from my Dad’s who I recently inherited this set up from: it has the small red topped mini regular on it. I’m a bit nervous about it’s safety but the. Again he used this all the time. You don’t mention flash back arrestirs. Are they not a necessity? Thank you so much for any advice you could offer and thank you VERY much for your video.

Thankyou !

I do the same for 35yrs always gas then oxygen !

Thanks! These psi are for soldering, what about for melting silver to make lingotes?

Poor set up sequence and dangerous shut down sequence. Blowing out the O2 fitting before installing the regulator is a must. A spec of dust in the system can be a fuel source. Heat of recompression can injure or kill due to regulator burn out. Search RBO and learn. Always bleed out the lines and back out the regulator to zero so the next guy to use the equipment doesn't get hurt, or worse. Smith (Miller) has a recommended sequence if anybody is interested in staying safe.

One obvious question…are flashback arrestors required with this torch?…You are not using them.

No leak check. Fail

Just happened on this “how to” instructions, because my first time torch components will be arriving in a few days. Thanks for the very clear instructional steps to setting up the regulators to the tanks properly.

thank you. My mother asked me to solder her broken gold chain and i din't remember the steps to set-up the torch since it has been such a long time since iv'e used my tools. I'm not comfortable doing repairs anymore but I couldn't say no to the mom so i followed your instructions and it worked perfect. Problem is I soldered at least 4 links together for lack of pratice !. oh well !! at least she can wear the chain again lol

Nancy LT Hamilton has a really good video on this subject too.

PLEASE! Update this video and show everyone how to check for leaks BEFORE bringing the tanks inside!

Great video but I have a question that how long can we keep on using that burner or torch?I mean can we keep on igniting it for hours or do we need to give it a rest?it is dangerous to keep it on ignition for hours because it could get too hot or can we use it for as long as we want?

good info

Thank you so much. You were very clear.

Thank you very much. No one could ever take the time to show me how to use my torch. I have been afraid to use it for fear of burning up the tips. Again thank you very much, even though it was simple, if you don't know the regulator settings, it is a big thing.

nothing said about the propane regulator... can one use an acetylene regulator by changing out the tank fitting? Is there a proprietary propane regulator? I'm used to using acetylene so I need to know about the propane regulator.

Yay! Just what I needed! Another reminder that things always look more daunting than they actually are. Thank you sir!

Can hoke torch be used with small oxygen and mapp tanks without the regulator

Thank you so much for this demo. My question is when I attach the flashback regulators to my tanks the arrow is pointing upwards toward the tanks and I am told they are suppose to point downward but the flash arrestors are made so that when the female nut that screws onto the tank the arrow ends up pointing upward. What should I do?

thanx, useful :)

These are really useful setup tips that I haven't seen anywhere else--thank you!!

Always check for leaks before using. It takes 2 minutes to do.

Not going to check for leaks?

thanks you very much

Thank you it was a big help

thanks a lot
