Messer Starlight 1302 Torch Handle
I recently posted this in the General Discussion section, i guess I'd be better putting it here. :-)
Hi there.
I'm new to this forum and I'm really keen to set myself up to start building some frames. I live in New Zealand, all the advise I can find on Brazing torches seems to be for the American market. I wondered if anyone can recommend the Messer Starlight 1302 system for general frame building, its a gorgeous piece of kit but I'm a bit concerned that its too small for all applications inc Lug work . I want to set myself up with decent gear from the start as I am a high quality freak and intend to produce high quality frames, I can only imagine that high quality tools are a good start if this is the end goal.
I love this Forum, invaluable information for someone stuck on the other side of the world with no framebuilding courses nearby :-)

Looks plenty good enough to me - I use a Meco Midget which is quite a bit smaller.

Thanks for the reply Ben, do you use that for lug work?

Yes, it's fine for lugs - though I mostly fillet my frames.

Looks good to me,
else you should be able to pick up a Harris craftsman torch from Australia without too hefty a shipping cost

Or even locally; there's a Harris NZ in the impossibly beautiful town of Napier.
