The soldering table is also equipped with two fume extractors.

The kiln room houses our Quick-Fire, Aim, and Duncan kilns and a new, top fire Denver KL-60 with inside dimensions of 30" x 60" x 12". The kiln room has its own ventilation system and storage shelves for works in the firing queue.

The courtyard has a 36" x 18" x 18" GFA-36 Digital Front Load Annealer from Denver Glass; a Denver Glass GH-18 split door 18" x 24" Glory Hole; and a 45-pound three pot crucible kiln from CRLoo. We start our off-hand department with small projects such as paperweights until our full blown hot shop is set up sometime in the future.

The cold shop has a GS-100 glass diamond band saw, able to cut a piece of glass up to 5" thick by 14" deep. A 45 degree tilt table allows miter cuts. There is also a one hp 4" x 106" wet abrasive belt sander from CR Laurence, and a 1/3 hp Diamond Pacific 10" TS-B slab saw with a 12" x 17" table, good for up to 3.5" thick slabs. A Denver Glass DG-18"lap grinder features a ½ hp constant torque variable speed motor. The lap plate is precision balanced for smooth running.

Another powerhouse from Denver Glass is the SB-810AB, a 1/3 hp electroplated diamond-beveling machine with four vertical wheels, both 8" for straight line and 4" for inside curves that can handle glass up to 14" and can accommodate two students at a time. An assortment of glass grinders, a Gryphon diamond wire saw, a Taurus II ring saw and a Foredom flexible shaft round out the cold working equipment.

The courtyard houses our 976 Pro Detailer sandblast cabinet from TP. The cabinet measures 58" x 34.5" for midsize pieces. It is powered by a receiver tank able to handle non-stop deep blast jobs.
