🇬🇧If you are in the UK I highly recommend Tufnell Glass here is a link to their website:
www.tuffnellglass.com/
🔥You can buy items individually or they offer amazing beginner bundles that vary in orice depending on what set ip suits you best!

🇬🇧 I get most of my glass equipment and supplies from them, they are a family run company and have pretty much everything you will need!
I also recommend Warm Glass (UK). They have great resources but are more specialised in stained glass and kiln based materials.

🇺🇸If you are in the United States i recommend these suppliers:

Lampworking Books 📚 :
Contemporary Lampworking (A Practical guide to shaping glass in the flame, volume 1) amzn.eu/d/09LypSD
Ventilation Kit:
VENTS Hydroponic ventilation kit (4" - 100mm) Compact Indoor Intake Extractor Fan Carbon Filter Setup in-line Duct Fan Kit for Grow Room Tent Ventilation with Ducting Hose Pipe Clips amzn.eu/d/cPSZhUT
important note on the glasses - there are a LOT of fakes out there. don't skimp.
Edit: PLEASE do not use compressed gas lighters for lighting torches. many, many, MANY people have permanent disfiguration from these exploding. this is exactly what "flint spark torch igniters" are made for, and usually cost less than $5.
So happy you made this video! I had been wondering for so long if I needed an annealer immediately. It was nice to hear that there are alternatives to start with until I can get one!
Im glad you found this useful! Let me know if you have any other questions 👍
