I have no expertise yet... I am on the learning curve. However I wont be making it from bits of gas tubing as a) its expensive and b) I prefer to experiment using those designs as a starter for 10. I have acquired some nice lengths of 1.5" steel scaffold pole which will form the basis of mine and a secondhand Silverline torch head like this, which has a 35mm burner and a nozzle to suit and provides a convenient way to attach the feed pipe and has a shutoff valve...
