My welding teacher gave me a torch!!

It's a jeweler's torch (small) and has a handle where the gases mix about 8 inches long.
He found it in the shop in the high school where he teachers and decided to give it to me.
It has two valves with nuts at the bottom to attach the oxygen and acetylene hoses to.

I've been learning brazing and silver soldering with a small torch.

I think it's really cool.....Of course I have no shed or garage or place to use for a workshop, but oh well.....

Looks like this except the knobs are at the bottom, and the torch part is smaller:
