I'm only about a month into lampworking and I'm slowly gaining knowledge and skill. I have a nice torch (Nortel Major/Minor) and a small kiln (Jen-Ken Chili Pepper) for annealing. So far, I'm using soft glass (104 COE) and making small objects.

Question: When making objects with that require multiple pieces to be joined together, how do people keep a part warm while making other parts? Should I just put them in my kiln or is there another option where they're a bit easier to access when needed? I watch videos of the pros demonstrating in Corning and elsewhere and never really see how they manage this aspect of the art...
