I would put a small front lip on the top panel of the station. Something a few inches that will catch the warm air and keep it inside the station till it's sucked up.
Perhaps your fan gets it all ?
On my set up , I could run the fan slower with my dimmer, and make less noise with that top trim piece in place.
Thanks for the reminder. I actually have the peice cut to size already, just need to attach it. I also have a dimmer for the fan, so we'll see what works best.

Still only getting on the torch about 10hrs a week, but some progress for the thread.

^Messed up the bowl piece on the marble attachment, really need to practice attaching large stuff, I get a bit careless with the excess heat.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :)
That orange and blue sherlock looks really great, shame about the crack, that always drives me nuts when you get the one sneaky one.
I can't tell, was it a repair during creation that showed due to the pattern, or did it happen during annealing?
Really nice colors.
Sheesh, I was taking pics so fast I didnt even realize that damn crack. It happended during annealing and this is the second time in the same spot. I previously worked it all out, and apparently it came back. Something is not happy there. Prob the carb seal.
Ok...not going crazy, looked again this morning and no crack. Guess I just posted pics from after first anneal.
I just went through this entire thread. :: looks at my crap beads :: ......... :: lights them on fire :: .........Well, shit. That didn't work. Guess I'll just have to get better!
Seriously, amazing color and form, and your organic sculpting has really advanced since your first attempt.
You're beads look great dude, no worries, just keep putting in the time...it's the only way for us to improve :)Quote:
