Amy in the studio.

This is our studio. Small but functional and a bit of a mess. It is actually our back porch in our apartment. Shhh don't tell the owners.

I have been working with my partner amy for about a year now. She and I have done predominately bead work for most of the past year. We really wanted to make larger glass vessels and pipes so we got a bigger torch recently. Living in South Georgia we are all but cut off from the pipe making community so it has taken a few months to produce my first pipe. I have big plans for where I am going to go with my pipe work and hope you guys will help me out. So drop some knowledge on me and if you live anywhere near Statesboro Georgia let us know.

careful though
never go bigger than a minor unless you get a hood and some major ventilation..
had a problem there...

ok guys
We rarely keep the major on for to long because we still work pretty small. I know i need a hood and i am using fans to circulate the air out of the room which is pretty open anyway. Finaly, not to start a huge debate here but oxygen is not explosive on it's own and the tanks are further away then they look in this picture. I appreciate the warnings but it's cool guys we know.

you ask for knowledge but you dont want a debate...??????wtf
well if you ask for knowledge and opinions id have to say if your not prepared to change the things you are doing wrong quit now and save you and girlys life...its that serious..everypost yourve gotten so far says the same thing stop,spend two days building a large wooden hardibacker topped bench with a good blower in it and then move on to blowing...please im not trying to be rude but your only the five millionth person (obvious dramatazation) whos asked for the "if you can drop any knowledge" line and i include myself in the five million. make a hood out of the 1inch thick silver insulation board and seal it up with some aluminum tape itll run ya prob 50 bucks and save you friom the horrors of heavy meatal poisoning and maybe hurting your friends....but since you know.....lol

hmmmm....??? we could double check w/OSHA...but.....
Correct me if i'm wrong but I thought O2.is a non-flameable gas...hence the green triangle sign thingy on the trucks denoting it as a non-flameable gas...as far as i know oxy is whats reffered to as a "flame accelerent"...meaning it needs to have a combustable Fuel gas i.e.-propane ,natural gas etc.present to go boom....but it goes boom big time when a propane bottle is blowing up any where within your immediate proximity!
You should get some ventilation upgrades going on as soon as possible though (i'm sure you know this-just stating the obvious)...But considering all the other shit people smoke and smog they breath and various other toxic shit they inhale Every Day ,i wouldn't worry too much about your setup -as long as it's as Temporary as possible!!(AND DON'T USE FRITS & POWDERS!!)...keep working & saving & investing & upgrading as you go.
Everyone starts some where....
Keep the torch lit.

dirty south to dirty south
Environmental hazards associated with glass making are no joke. And like smiley said oxy is not explosive by itself, BUT there is enough pressure in a T-bottle to propel that tank torpedo style clean through an eight inch concrete slab in the event of a rupture. just something to think about...
P.S. If your ever in the area of charleston S.C. feel free to gimme a call maybe I can give you a quicky demo or answer some questions.
P.P.S. have you considered turning your bench 90 degrees to face you exaust fan? a direct line is better than a side draft in most cases....
