Hi all,
I am thinking about re-designing my studio layout. I am interested in finding out how others have their studios designed. What do you do that you like and what would you like to do if you could?
Thanks,
Tim

Tim,
Studio space is as personal a choice as almost anything else.
Over time, I think many of us have evolved our space into something that is comfortable, borrowing from one another when we can.
A few books come to mind that may help with your quest.
"The Techniques of Stained Glass" by Patrick Ryntiens
"Making Stained Glass" by Robert and Gertrude Metcalf.
And I believe the SGAA Reference manual also has a layout and other suggestions.

| put the benches on casters so you can move them as needed. you need the casters that lock both the wheel and the swivel

Tim,
I found this stained glass work table design in the Library of Congress Patent Office.
Maybe it will help.

Interesting to see that it's from 2004! Somehow, I expected it to be lots older. There are some useful features - the casters, for example. Looks like it could get double-use for ping pong?
Thanks for sharing - Tod

| HI - I just moved my two studios so I am in the process of laying out a new studio. One suggestion is think of your comfort - I added foam floor for the entire studio makes a big difference on your feet. I also added wheels to everything. I added an office that I can use my laptop in with my design table - hope to get glasseye software this year. My biggest problem is low ceiling and lack of natural lights - yep I'm back in a finished basement again but I do have heat and air conditioning .I have two glass block windows in room with a drop down accoustical ceiling with dark paneled walls . I solved the wall problem by covering it all up with bookcases and cabinets etc. I use to hang my lead etc from plumbing tube pipes from the ceiling now I can't do this storage. I am trying to design a 4 ft by 9 ft light table with lead storage under it. I have the light table already the base I had is iron and I can't get it into the basement so I have to design a table base that I can get down a stairwell. If you don't hear from me for awhile you know I'm stuck down in the glass pit (my new basement studio) still orgainizing and unpacking. My studio is big enough to hold one 4x9 table and three 2x 6ft tables for work surfaces .
