So I finally took the plunge! And I'm hooked! I'm taking my first metalworking class from Naomi Kantrow here in Connecticut. She has some amazing pieces! Eventually I'll get the full set up (Smith B probably), but just as an intro I bought this little guy. It's so fun! So far I've just fused fine silver, but plan to solder at home with it as soon as I get all the extras (flux, pickle, tools, etc.) This is a great way to make a smaller commitment before you know if melting metal is for you. A friend in the class actually got a slightly different one from a gourmet cooking shop (for creme brulee!) But they seem to get things hot enough to get the job done. I like the portability of it also. So hopefully this will open up tons of new design options for me!
