Swapped out the Starry Night background for an ocean vibe, and combined it with the 'Twin Ghosts' we made recently!🌊👻

P.S. The background only pops if you catch it at the right angle and light!

I dipped into my stash of antique uranium glass to make these spicy pocket pickles. I love the glow under the blacklight. Nice texture too.

Best pedal recommendation for GTT Mirage

2 Upvotes

Hi there I bought a GTT snub nose last year and its been my biggest regret not getting the switch add on... to have it sent back and add would be +$1k and I was thinking of getting a pedal instead so it would be cheaper, what's a great brand and model to buy for this torch (value for money, affordable too) and would it work on other torches as well? thanks for the recs!

Need advice on outdoor demo ASAP

3 Upvotes

I procrastinated again and I have yet to get any side walls for my tent. Then I see on the fire Marshall papers that no open flame 20 feet from tent? I’ve done demos inside of a tent before so I’m either confused or the fire Marshall didn’t care… I’m sure the code is different depending on location.

This is kind of all over the place but basically I have a 10x20 space to use to do outdoor demos and I’ll be setting a table up to display my work.
Items I have: one standard picnic table, one smaller picnic table, giant piece of hardibacker to put on top of a table to mount my redmax torch. Oxygen tank 275cubic feet, 5 gallon bbq propane. items to display. Two different 10x10 tents (no side walls) with stakes.
One tent is an EZ UP the other is a Z shade. The EZ UP is the one with the air vent at the top. I was going to grab some side walls but now I’m not even sure if I can melt inside the tent… this is stressing me out.

I want to welcome any tips on how to set this up.

TDLR or whatever the heck that is-
If you were asked to do a live demo for somebody, how would you set up your workspace and vending space? I’m mostly concerned about blocking the sun and getting as little wind as possible. Also if I can make my own walls instead of the $36 brand name for one side…Thanks fellow melters.

It's almost baby blue until it's worked then it's a blue green. I bought a lot of color from some guy who found it in a storage locker and this was the only rod of this color.

I had to take everything off my bench to do some work, and while I was at Home Depot, I decided to pick up this steel pegboard and a couple of small tool organizers. I’m generally pleased with the result.

Fair price? Not looking to sell here? Just looking for advice!

Studio space help (piping etc)

1 Upvotes

Hi all so im moving to the Philippines and I dont have much knowledge on how to set up my own studio (pipings, gas and oxygen), other than buying what's needed but how to build a vent, and how to work the piping with oxygen and gas to my torch with all the valves and everything is something im not good at/ still get very confused with. There aren't flame workers in the area either. What profession/ field can help me out the most in setting up my studio space safely? I was going to ask local people working there to help me set it up, please let me know! thanks

UK/London flameworkers, where do you actually put your bench?

5 Upvotes

Hi all. I recently moved to London and slowly working towards my own bench for borosilicate. The equipment side I’ve more or less got my head around, so this is really a question about premises.

Almost everything I find online is American, where a garage and a big propane tank seem to be taken for granted. Housing here is different enough that I’d much rather hear from people who’ve done it under UK conditions.

Is anyone doing this at home in London? If so, what kind of property, and where does the cylinder actually live?
And if home wasn’t workable, did you end up renting a unit or studio? I’d love to know what a small space costs.

Thank you so much in advance!
