A basic but complete kit that comes with everything you would need to make glass beads except the glass. Just add a bottle of propane or propylene gas and you are ready to get started.

(The components of this kit are listed below - the pictures may not be updated)

Kit #1

  • Hot Head Torch - Details
  • Bracket to hold torch propane bottle
  • Didymium Safety Glasses
    - high quality enhanced didymium lens!
    - the real thing! watch out other web sites are not selling the real didymium in their kits
    - but some inexpensive "welding" type glasses which do not do what true didymiums do. You can upgrade these glasses in this kit if you want clip ons, large frames, cool looking frames or to add additional protection for working with borosilicate glass or other applications.

Morretti Northstar Boroscilicate Pyrex Effetre colored glass rods resting and holding place. Durable, portable, stainless steel, can also go inside your glass bead sculpture kiln Glass Rod Rests
This movable rod rest is used to support glass rods to keep them up off the flame worker's workbench for easier grabbing, better organization, and to keep the glass rods cleaner. The rippled edge keeps the rods from rolling around. These durable stainless steel rod holders can also be placed inside a glass bead kiln to support your mandrels.
