Studio I |
||||
|
I live in a 100 year old house and converted an upstairs bedroom, which already had the old kitchen sink/cabinets, into a studio. The room is small, but amazingly functional. We also have a huge area above our heated garage equipped with several large work benches which is a perfect area for working on larger pieces and teaching classes. When designing a stained glass studio, one must take precautions for properly ventilating toxic fumes associated with soldering. When teaching classes, it is also important to educate your students to the harmful effects of soldering without a filtration system. I have equipped my studio with the Hakko #HJ3100 - Fume Extraction System and highly recommend this excellent product for other studios. |

Studio II |

When step-son number 4 vacated this wonderful 10 x 20 room just across the hallway from my existing studio upstairs, I set out to expand my work area in the winter of 2005. This is where I do most of my work. |

New Studio Project September 2006/07 I was conducting window construction business for larger panels over my plywood covered pool table in the basement. In effect, creating a Studio III. My insurance man suggested that it would be best if I could consolidate all of my studios into one area. Since we have a very large area over our garage, which used to be used as a machine shop for a car mechanic back in the 40's, I decided to take him up on his suggestion and get to work converting this area into a year-round workshop. Unfortunately, once the framing was up, our contractor defaulted on the project, and was no where to be found. He had done other project for us over the years, and seemed reliable, but apparently he had a gambling problem. After several months, and the arrival of spring, my husband decided that he needed to continue the project on his own. Thank you, dear Charles! |
