Studio is finished yay
if you are driving around the high sierra's north of Truckee, CA come on by. the studio is finished and i am at peace, for now. Thanks to all who answered my questions and posted photos to help. i want a 2 torch set up but only have connectors and hoses for 1 torch at present. here are my photos.
this is just under the "must get a permit size, 10'x20' |
Your studio space is great, nice light! I love the wrap around counter tops. Enjoy!

Nice! If I were close I would definitely be crashing your studio. Still working on mine. :pout:
|
Lovely!
|
Fantastic studio!
|
Wow that is a brilliant studio, congrats and wishing you many, many happy hours in it x
|
Lovely space, and what a wonderful part of the country to live in. Visited there a few years back. Bought jewelry downtown.....gold quartz rings which I just love.
Your floor is wonderful, but I would put something down to protect from hot glass.....ask me how I learned this LOL! Dianne |
Looks great. Have lots of fun in there.
|
Such a inspiring space!!! Happy torching!
|
Thank you for all the wonderful comments. i love being able to SEE the colors on the transparent rods on the window sills. it was a whopping 37 degrees in there this morning.
Dianne, there are hard plastic "under your desk chair" sheets on the fake wood floor by the torch. i also have a water bottle with sprayer and a fire extinguisher near by. living in, right IN, the forest makes me hyper sensitive about fire. |
It looks wonderful!
|
Looks really beautiful! Enjoy!!

Nice! Congrats!
|
What a beautiful space! I love how your glass is the decoration, nice!

Great studio set up!!!! I also like the light passing through your glass- I think you get a lot fewer small quakes up there in the foothills. We get enough here, that even though you don't feel most of them, things on shelves move, so I would have to put museum gel or putty under the jars to hold them on the window sills here!
|
really nice...lots of room and light!
|
It's beautiful. I love the U shaped work area, very spacious!

I was just by there a few weeks ago, went to Rocklin and then over to Arrowsprings... Ok, is your vent hood a stock tank? Kirsti |
What a wonderful space!! Congrats!! :)
|
You space is so nice! A really beautiful place to work.
|
Kirsti: i wish we could have connected when you went to Arrow Springs. Actually when you are there you are still a good 3 hours from my house. i am wayyyyy up in the high sierras, google Cromberg, CA. anyhow. yes in dee dee a snappy stock tank it is. i figured it was going to be less expensive than having somebody make a fume hood. i had a local sheet metal plumbing co. adapt it and hang it. there was a tut on line, probably LE, that gave step by step directions so you could do it yourself. i don't have the bill yet so can't say what the tank cost, maybe $100? it is the 4 foot size. i want to have 2 torch stations so needed the bigger hood. come back.
|
If you search for my post on my latest studio build you will find details regarding how I adapted a stock tank. It's actually pretty easy to do yourself with minimal tools.
|
i love the look of the stock tank, so industrial! i am glad you came up with this idea and that you shared.
|
So jealous! I'm still working in my garage with no heat!
|
I just happen to have a stock tank that we used for a hot tub for a while! lol Wonder if I can get my husband to hang that thing. I really love your studio.
|
the stock tank wasn't cheap but probably less expensive than a sheet metal worker and more efficient than a range hood. should have taken the label off.............
|
I purchased my feed trough from quality farm and fleet for around $80. Here's the link of how I did it back in 2007. http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/sh...ht=Feed+trough
|
i so like the "industrial-ness" of the look
|
Stock tank
I used the same, got it at Ace Hardware, price wasn't too bad, dianne
