Did you Know?
What is the difference between a torch and a burner? A torch is held in the hand (think of the Statue of Liberty) and a burner sits on a table (think of a Bunsen Burner in high school chemistry class). Because so many people call the burners torches in our industry, we usually call them torches as well to keep head scratching to a minimum. Have you ever heard someone say what a great torch a Minor Burner is? So what is the difference between lampworking and flameworking? For that matter, what about torchworking? Might as well add burnerworking to the list? Did you notice all these terms are a single word? Semantics, got to love it. Brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.
