OK. I give up...What is the SS tub? looks like it has some kind of
heating controls on it.

It is a glass kiln. I turned the old yard shed into a glass studio and expanded it some.

Here's the sort of thing she turns out in there now:











I'm the grunt labor, she's the artist.

I do consult with her on projects and composition. Then she just puts me to work on other stuff. LOL

I make flexy racks and resurrect old audio gear for giggles and grins. Some of it even works!

Nice fused glass work!! My wife and I do fused glass too, I usually do the cutting, and she does the composing.

Love to see some of your work. I tote the barge and lift the bale. If she's doing an old window, like the grapes, I remove the old glass and glazing, give the frame a light sand and sometimes a paint wash. Or I am drug to the glass store to haul the bare glass home. Oh, and I build stuff. I am just finishing up her glass storage unit this weekend.

A couple things, pretty simple:

We have a Paragon programable kiln, a little bit smaller than yours, but can also be used for firing ceramics if you turn the top element off. We also have a smaller Paragon kiln, about 14" by 14" also programable, that we use for small stuff. Originally, I bought it for hardening knives and gun parts. Really nice to have the programable ones, for ramping up, holding, ramping down, etc.

Wow...nice glass!!!

It does have an eeriness to it, doesn't it.
I was offered a substantial sum for it. I turned them down.
The table it will reside on, has been curing for the last 12+ years. I hope to finish my vision in a few years.

Nice 3 link! I had the idea of doing this a long time ago. When I saw it at the the 1st PRI Show I wasn't surprised, cuz it sure seems like the way to articulate your suspension.
Nice wheeler ya had.

I'd like to see more of ol #2.

 

[SA Shooter]

great stuff, drewp!

@Rick4070 we also have one of the smaller programmable Paragon units. That's how the Mrs. started out after deciding not wanting to run over to Bullseye in SE PDX every time she wanted to fuse something. But it was good for her to do so starting out as she learned a LOT from the folks there on firing schedules.

The big Skutt has an issue with the programmer. For now she is manually setting the firing schedule because the Skutt programmer keeps erroring out saying the rise event time is too long even though she is using one of the pre-programmed schedules.

Beautiful fabrication work!!!!

It's sure nice to have a shop and equipment, and know how to use it!!!

I started a street rod project a few years ago, a '37 Chev. business coupe, installed a Mustang II front end, and have the rear springs mounted and installed. The body is ready to be taken off and stripped, so the few patch panels can be fitted and welded in.

Alas, I probably am going to have to sell it in the near future, as is, I just don't have the time, inclination, or eyesight to be able to complete it....

Nice to see someone that stuck it out and kept at it until the project was finished!!!!
