21:16 Nice to show us all of the extraneous tasks involved in your glass work. Invariably, several dozen things must be done in order to do what we actually want to do, and your new furnishings are looking quite well done. A blessing that your husband is willing to work to make things happen instead of being a blob and hiring workers to do it. Just TRYING is onorable enough, succeeding is even better. 26:00 Good that there are ways to prevent work shops from burning to the ground nowdays. Long ago, glass shops, candle makers and pottery firing shops were notorious for burning down.
It's often the case that the end product never reveals the effort and resources required to make it. Those that know, know.

Oh my goodness!! It is so good to see you back on UA-cam!!
Yay! Thank you!☺️
I wish I had more room. To many hobbies. LOL I love your paintings on glass they are beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. Agreed, space can be an issue as you spread your hobbies throughout the house!
Yay! Jill is back, such a good teacher! 12:14 Your work shop is much cleaner than mine, how ever will I get any work done if I am fusing with cleaning!😆😆😆 Back tomorrow night for another chunk of your long video! Thank you for the show and tell.

Great to hear from your Ralph. You know the backstory why we've been away, it's good to be back and making videos again and sharing our passion. We have lots planned for future uploads too.
I know what you mean about a clean workshop. Everyone is different, it's interesting seeing other people's work areas and how they operate - messy, cluttered to clean and tidy. Takes all sorts and neither is wrong.
Enjoy the next portion of the video when you get back to it.

Great to see how others are organizing their studios. It is always chalenge to find more space for all staff we need for our business. Greetings from hot Croatia.
Thank you! We find you can always fill empty spaces, as you say a constant challenge.
Jill, so thrilled to have been able to watch this set up, and even more to see you and John back on YT! I am looking forward to some beadmaking tutorials even though I don't have that set up (I did have a beginner set up but it was not very safe so I took it down until I have proper space). So happy to see your lovely studio! Thank you and John (very talented man!) for sharing this journey with us, xx -Margaret
Thank you for watching Margaret.
Very sensible to wait until you have a proper setup. Jill attended a course on bead making where the person had no extraction, the calor gas bottle was in their bedroom as was the torch! Scary really.
Yayyyy! A new video! ❤ I love your videos! ❤ Thanks so much for taking us on your detailed lampwork studio setup journey! It looks amazing! I haven’t done lampwork for years but always remember P.O.O.P! Thanks again to you both
POOP is memorable! Glad to enjoyed it.
Thank you so much , this is just what I needed ! Your new space looks beautiful ! Well done 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Really fantastic!!! Even if I did not hear your accent I would have thought you were in England. Such a beautiful garden outside your glass lamp working studio!! New subscriber here by the way...
Thanks so much! 😊
Extremely interesting and very impressive. I did not realise or appreciate the size of your studio (having only seen John's) and the amount of equipment needed. Look forward to the follow up video.
Thanhs Barry, glad it was informative
Hi Jill and John. Jill. I’ve learned that leaving rubber bands on the rods is a bad idea…they dry rot and leave goop on the rods. Also. The sticker labels fade and fall off. Great job on the revamp. ❤best wishes to you both and I look forward to seeing your upcoming adventures
Great tip!
My Gary is handy like John. So very smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to hear!
I've not seen a video of how to set up a flamework area and the timig couldnt be better for me - As always, clear and informative and pitched just rigbt
That’s great to hear. We found very few resources too when we were planning, hence our video. Good luck with your installation.
lets gooo love the studio and space from boro world!
Thank you! 🙏
we are excited to see you are back
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve always wanted to set up a studio in my house but I wasn’t sure how to go about doing so
No problems. If you are thinking of lampworking then beware of any local requirements around the storage of propane gas bottles. Most authorities / councils don't allow it to be stored indoors and can invalidate your insurance.
Great to see your new addition.
I haven’t got a handy hubby but my handyman has done wonders with my glass fusion studio.
I have been banned from working with another form of glass, as I have just bought another glass fusing kiln. Hopefully sometime in the future I would like to try the hot glass.
Good luck working with the hot glass

Thanks Jackie. Lol at your ban 😂
Great to see your set-up. We bought a kit from Tuffnells but the fans paddles warped with the heat. We did have the fam situated away from the funnel end so air had chance to cool but metal def the way to go.
Ah that’s frustrating for you. Thank you for confirming our concerns about plastic fan blades.
32:07 It looks as if John likes to wear diaphenous thin white linen shirts as I do during the heat of summer, nothing so cool feeling as pure wrinkley linen. 41:50 Very nice, they look like irregularly shaped glass marbles. Good to see you doing well, your long absence had me concerned as I would take our Bulldog for his walks home. Upon returning home the main focus is making my customer's walking canes, plus dozens of other distractions. Now we look forward to seeing your creations! Godspeed!
Jill is learning fast, those initial beads are amusing looking back now. That's how we improve and progress. It's good to compare and reflect on the improvements one has made when looking at your earlier work.

how big is your shop? is that the one u film your creative videos from? I do love how the tables fold down from the wall.
Studio is 5m x 3m. Yes it’s where we film our videos. The storage units are really useful, expensive but worth it.
