It works!

The studio is finally up and running! All the parts are back from repair and everything is in place. Here are a few photos, sort of a "left to right" pan around - hopefully in each picture you can see an object from the previous picture so you can understand the "panorama"!

Here's the door. Notice the business permits, fire extinguisher and first aid kit (can never be too safe!), a couple cork boards for displaying business cards and postcards of other glass artists, and inspiration and ideas.

A nice table for sitting to make jewelry (there is a cart hidden under the table with lots of drawers for storing all the jewelry bits), a place for the photo tent to be permanently set up, and a bookshelf with plenty of room to expand. In the corner is some shelving to hold all the tools, frits, glass bits, and other items that need to be handy when at the torch. Above the shelves is the vent where cooling from the swamp cooler comes in. Having make-up air here at your back when sitting at the torch helps keep you cool and also helps push any fumes away from you and back into the hood so they can be exhausted. Most days the temperature in the studio is about 20 degrees cooler than outside, so its anywhere from 70 to 90 (which is actually pretty comfortable here in the desert when there is low humidity).

Some posters showing all the glass colors available (to remind Shane that no, I don't have them all yet). The bench with torch and kiln on the right. Attached to the wall is the propane regulator connected to the propane tank outside, along with emergency shut-off.

Next to the bench is the window for additional make-up air. Below is the glass stash.

Of course all studios must have tunes! Below is the oxygen concentrator and oxygen holding tank, and some more shelves for additional storage.
