My Studio
 

~~~~CHECK OUT THE FURNACE PICS BELOW~~~~

I have been doing some moving things around in the studio and have started with my personal bench with a custom made stainless steel bench top.The other seven stations will be finished up soon with new s.steel bench tops as well.

The above ventilation is a speed controlled 5000cfm dual port exhaust individually controlled as for each 2500 cfm roof mount fan is directly routed to the top of the hood system with as little as 8'-10' of duct work to optimize outtake. The large black pipe 10" off the floor is propane and the copper pipe 10" above that is liquid oxygen both individually tapped for regulation on each of the 10 stations allowing the use and operation of several different types of burners from large to small.

I will be editing and updating the specs of the hoods,stations,hard line specs, outdoor fuel/O2 storage,etc....

Dang! That's a hell of a fine looking studio!

Compared to that...I just have the starter kit :lol:.

Awesome studio! <sigh> You just gave me a bad case of studio-envy.

dang... that is pretty sweet!

I like your stool too!

Wow - what a fantastic place to work! I agree with Sheryll and have major studio envy :-). But you have to start somewhere. Enjoy and thanks for sharing. I'd love to see more pictures.

Yeah!!! You have my torch. Stunning set up there. I love it! It looks very professional and has a "let's get down to business" feel to it. I like that. I would like to know how you like your Arnold. Do you do lampwork and small stuff, or blowing?

I do a little bit of everything with them;)

Awesome set up! Thanks for sharing pictures.

What kind of torches are the blue ones?

OMG! :jawdrop: You have all that under one roof? Slumber party at Norski's! Come on ladies, who's with me? :poke: when are ya getting the furnace up, I wanna play!

Hey Sheryll, after your first experience with glass blowing at Peter's last weekend you'll be a pro in no time! Definitely slumber party time. The only things I see missing are wine and tunes.

-Diane

I'll bring some wine!!!

All that and then some:grin: and the furnace will be up and running in late October!

William you have one kick ass place.

Hhhmmmm, that isn't too far to go for a glass weekend...

This is really lovely! wow I cant believe all the great stuff you have in there dang I think we need to move to Spokane well ok maybe not with that 6ft of snow that came down out there but dang to have a shop like that at my disposal would ROCK! We have NOTHING around here and I really wish we did!

Debbie

Very nice....! But I do have to say those bare feet make me cringe!

Yeah well she is from California and was happy to sign a release form! LOL!

LOL! there is plenty of room here but the igloos are melting! lol!

TY!

THONGS?
 

A thong footed student, teacher or any one else for that matter would not be allowed in our studio!!

Cheers!

She actually has a long history with furnace glass.....next time you see William Morris tell him too will ya!?! lol!

William has a great setup - wish it wasn't almost an hour away or I'd rent time.

I'm with the others on that shoe thing. I watched someone drop hot glass on their work boot once. Flames, heat, cooked foot. Wasn't pretty.
