My work space....

I have a studio in the garage, with amazing light (provided by 2 skylights) but no heat! I worked in there yesterday, it was about 45 degrees. I call it the dirty area. I solder, pickle, buff, fire the 2 kilns, trim clay, make lampwork beads, and generally make a mess!  Some of my favorite tools are seen here:My pencil torch, hand held butane torch, my third hand, a small forming block and hammer, lighting gizmo,  box of sanding discs, bracelet mandrel.  I tried soldering a frame to hold a piece of bronze clay, some sterling, some metal clay. It took a while but worked.
