Very Nice!! What is the sheet metal (?) piece at the back of the bench next to the TV? I like the wine glass too!

Your studio looks quite cozy! I'm sure you will enjoy years of happy melting there.
Please tell us more about your ventilation system. What size hood and blower did you use? I see your vent in the bench top, where is it coming from? What are the metal things behind the bench? Looks like an 8 inch vent pipe, what does that do? and the sheet metal to the left, what is the function of that? I am working on a similar project , just curious about ventilation. We are finding we need 3 vents in the table top for makeup air,(our blower is 800 cfm) does your one vent provide enough air? Do you open a window?
Congrats!!!!!

I would love to see a close up shot of your work tabletop so I can see the cold air intake pipe .Is it the same size pipe as the exhaust pipe? Is it round all the way to outside or does it change to a rectangle below the desktop? I need to put one in too, to keep me warmer in Maine!!

I have a fan that pulls at maybe around 1450 cfm at .5 SP - it's an adjustable fan. I am using 10" ducting. The sheet metal behind the torch was a back splash for the back bottom of the hood, but I found that it just created turbulence with my intake so I took it down. Stuck it on the wall because sometimes I crank up my torch and I sometimes angle my torch for my needs, it's just got one screw on it - it swivels. I found that for proper air flow I needed to crack a vent in the opposite wall just a bit to get proper air flow suction patterns around the hood.

I have the intake coming straight from below the floor of the shed. Kinda nice to do with the shed style. It is rectangle, 12"x8" . I know you can work with either rectangle or with round that connects to a rectangle. A heating place would have the parts for it. You should try to make your intake a little larger than your exhaust ducting.

It's sooooooo cool. I wish to have a shack like that. I saw that you have electricity outlet for your tv and phone. MN is very cold in the winter, do you have heater? I have to ask because i'm in MN too, suburb of TC.

Yep, I got a 2800 watt electric heater (normal space heaters are 1/2 that). It will cost me about $.25/hr to run at full power but it has a thermostat and with the insulation it should be pretty efficient.

You setup is very nice. I wish I could arrange a similar intake system. Not possible for me. But, you've got me thinking.

I'm envious! I've been eyeballing those Tuff Sheds for a while now. You know that some of them even have LOFTS?? Way cool. Congratulations, Drew!

Great space Drew! Can I ask, what is the black drawers thingy under your kiln? I am going to be building my new studio soon and am looking for something like that for glass storage.
Thanks,

Does the intake air come up through an opening in the bench top? I have been thinking about a better way to get makeup air into my studio--one that doesn't turn the entire back of me into an iceblock like the open a window system I have now. Have you ever had any hot glass pop off and go down the hole? Nice studio--it looks like a great place to work.

I'm not understanding the makeup air question in heated spaces-- I've got a garage studio so the garage door opening is my makeup air. But in a closed space that you are trying to keep heated or cooled, how do you accomplish that and still bring in adequate makeup air? Seems like it would be difficult to keep the temperature stable with outside air coming in. Is is just a vent? Thanks.

Excuse my ignorance, but could you explain how you accomplished this? I am remodeling my stained glass studio to accommadate my torch as well. This set up looks ideal for me. I was wondering if I was going to have to run in and out to deal with the propane, turning on and off, bleeding lines etc. TIA Pam

I think the beer bottle by the computer is a great decorative touch!! LOL Having satelite (sp) TV in your studio is soo cool.. You don't feel cut off from the outside world. I love watching it while I am torching... and hubby comes out to visit and watch news when he takes a break.
Great vent setup you have going there. I need to work on mine some.. Notice where my priorities lie?? No lectures now, please.
