When we were having the fab demo at The Cone with Charlotte, she mentioned a 'Murphy Firebucket' table top glory hole. I tracked it down, it's a little more than the couple of hundred quid, but it's quite a nice size for small working. There are some nice guides to use on the website too; Now which of our lovely UK glass supplies fancy stocking these? ::)

Oh nice, I especially like that you get the tools with it.
It's very exciting - would be very interested if those with bigger studios got one and were able to offer hire time??

Glenn, its cheaper to get one made for you in the UK, we looked at getting one and having it shipped over and the shipping was more than the cost of the firebucket itself :( :( If you seriously want one making I have a couple of numbers for folks that make them pm me and i'll dig them out for you.
We have one of these - not a murphy, but similar. It gets quite hot...
We've not really had time for a proper play with it, but it's on the agenda...
hmm Glenn, shall I pick you up and we can go mob Sean ?? ;D ;D
Call for me on the way ;D
ooooh can I come too? ;D ;D
hehe no probs Kaz will do ;D
Tell you what, well try to get it fired up this w/e, and post some pics. Becky's right tho', you are better to get one made here than import it-there's not a lot to them.
oh for goodness sake, now i want one of these! :P

Do you realise that Glasgow is even further North than I am ;D ;D ;D
That minibus could become a coach ;D wonder if DH fancies visiting his family in Glasgow!
hehehe Sean, look out, flash mob descending ..
For the southerners (or northerners who fancy a long trip lol) if there is a lot of interest in seeing a table top glory hole I will arrange a get together once mine is finished. Not making any promises on when that will be (its being made for me as a favour...) but will shout up when i get it ;D

oh please don't tempt me!!!!!! ::) ::) ::) ::) I might well be up for one of these sometime in the near future, but I have quite a few other bits and peices on the 'must buy' list first :-\ however I will be in touch when funds allow!
Although it might be a good excuse to go and annoy Sean to try one out first ;) ;D
We could always test the portability, kidnap it and transport round the country!
Road trip!!! Yay
Ohhhhhh, look what you did!! Naughty Glen *sneaks onto minibus when no-one is looking*
