Nice! If I were close I would definitely be crashing your studio. Still working on mine. :pout:

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.

@miniuniworld 2012-10-06 9:43am

Such a inspiring space!!! Happy torching!

saraconklin 2012-10-06 10:28am

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!

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!

Bead Trixx 2012-10-10 10:23am

really nice...lots of room and light!

Cherine Perrin 2012-10-11 2:53am

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?

What a wonderful space!! Congrats!! :)

DayDream Beads 2012-10-14 8:39pm

You space is so nice! A really beautiful place to work.

saraconklin 2012-10-15 5:45pm

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.

Signguy 2012-10-15 6:24pm

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.

saraconklin 2012-10-16 9:16am

i love the look of the stock tank, so industrial! i am glad you came up with this idea and that you shared.

PyroJoe 2012-10-27 5:54am

So jealous! I'm still working in my garage with no heat!

MCarol 2013-10-06 7:45am

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.

saraconklin 2013-10-06 12:25pm

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.............

Mustang Dawn 2013-10-06 12:37pm

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

saraconklin 2013-10-06 3:02pm

i so like the "industrial-ness" of the look

Dianne Gleaton 2013-10-07 12:17pm

Stock tank
 
I used the same, got it at Ace Hardware, price wasn't too bad, dianne
