Bellows
Blow pipe
Fill the alcohol lamp with denatured alcohol (bought at any drug store). Light it. With the large end of the blow pipe in your mouth and the small end about 1⁄4 in. above and a little to the right of the flame, blow gently. This little blue flame will give you heat enough to solder small pieces. Even a small wood fire would give you heat enough to anneal any size pieces you wish. "Must I learn to make all these tools before beginning?"
"Oh, no, you'd better buy your tools; they don't cost very much. Then we can start to make something right away. The first thing you must do is to design the piece of work you are going to make. I made a bowl first."
"But I can't design."
"Neither could I when I began. You won't find it hard after you have once made a start."
"Let's begin now, John, I want to make something."
