Glass warming/annealing torch

I finally was able to locate round ceramic honeycomb for making warming/annealing torches for the horizontal lathe, these form an infrared burner with very even and predictable heat to help avoid glass breakage. They are supplied with natural gas and shop air, so you can go from a red honeycomb for warming to a protruding blue flame for annealing. When completed, it will be nearly identical to what RACS had.
