It appears Kent White, the "Tin Man" of TM Technologies in California has passed away after suffering a fall.  Some of his videos on metal shaping and gas welding still seem available on YouTube, but the company website is down, and the future of TM Technologies and related products is questionable at this point in time.

Located in the Northern California gold country, TM is a supplier of metalworking tools that are difficult to source elsewhere. Not sure how active Kent White is these days but the company still seems to be in place and selling one of the best small torch hoses available. 

From the website:

"TM" stands for "Tools & Methods" which is what we provide to metalworking professionals and enthusiasts around the globe. We offer top-quality gas welding supplies, hand tools and shaping machines, for sheet metal fabrication, restoration, and repair. Our workshops, classes, and instructional DVDs share and preserve the best centuries-old metalworking techniques gathered from master craftsmen over the past 40 years.

Ultra Light Weight Welding Hose

(This hose is acceptable for use with all gases.) This black twinlead "leader" hose is extremely flexible , and is the lightest twinlead hose available. When used with the Meco Midget, the total "in-hand" weight is a mere 8 oz. and you can tie that ultralight black hose in a knot! Exclusive, special and available only from TM Technologies. 9 foot length with size "A" hose fittings. This product includes adapters to connect to standard "B" regulators. This is a "T" grade hose.
