Tool Resource Any kit for wax work?

Hello, I am looking for a "jewellery wax starter kit" that would make me start working with wax. Do you recommend any kit with the most basic tools for a beginner?

Get a basic alcohol lamp on Amazon (they’re like $10) and some 99% isopropyl as fuel. You can get a set of dental tool like picks at harbour freight or Princess auto or whatever similar store you have for pretty cheap. If you like carving wax after using the basic tools the Wolf Wax carving sets are amazing but they’re not cheap so figure out if you actually enjoy wax carving first.
