Title: New studio
Post by: Pat from Canvey on December 10, 2014, 10:44:38 AM
The workmen are currently putting up my new studio in the garden as I type so I'll soon be able to take all my glass stuff from the dining room and lounge. The kids are coming home at Christmas so they'll help with moving the heavy stuff including the SC2 kiln. I've only been waiting since June for the installation date  ::)  ::)  ::) I'll put up pictures when it's finished. I'm having 4 double electric points installed so there'll be plenty of sockets and I think I'm going to buy a unit from Ikea for glass rod storage. I'll finally be able to sort them out into COE's and silver glass so no more mistakes grabbing the wrong rod.

Wonderful news - somewhere top hide over Christmas whilst they do the washing up?

Which Ikea storage unit?

Which Ikea storage unit?
I'm thinking of the Nornas bookcase on page 241 or possibly some of the Kallax shelving units on page 243.

That's brilliant! I shall put aside pangs of jealousy to wish you well in it, and the blessings of the local kiln fairies!  ;D

Here it is, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/24562402/410542581.jpg) Now all I've got to do is move everything glassy, wire etc into it.  ::)  ::)  ::) It has 8 internal electrical sockets and two external ones plus it comes with an oil filled radiator and track lighting inside. It's an ultimate treat to myself but should also improve the value of the house if I decide to sell and move nearer to my daughter as the years advance. The kids are all coming home for Christmas so they will help with moving "stuff". I took the photo from an upstairs window so the pergola is nowhere near the studio. It's just the angle of the shot that's deceiving.
