You forgot one of the most important tools for a flameworker, a backscratcher! I can't remember how many times i was in the middle of my work when i had a gnarly itch right in the center of my back, and when I didn't have a backscratcher handy I had to yell for the wife or kids or anyone to please come scratch my back. One time I made a quick one out of glass a couple times
Great tips. I’ve never seen a video of the Bart Hoffman stick stack tool successfully lining a 50mm tube with stringers by hands (with a roller or two bc that’s going to be heavy).
