Hot Wax Setup


Recommended Posts

the level of the wax is raised so i do not have to worry about putting my hand deep into the hot pan.   there are 3 stacks of tiles to do that.  i work outside with a fan behind me and use melted candles and whatever i find.

thank you, but they are not my work.  they came from a tile store back in the 1980s.  it has since gone out of business.  i think they were on sale for a quarter of a dollar each.  i bought them for their size, 8 inches. the level of wax above them is about a sixteenth of an inch.  i feed new candles into the pan when it gets low enough not to make waves.

 

they were red earthenware and had a blue slip covering the whole tile then the white slip was applied.  it stands a titch higher so i suspect it was applied with a tube liner or an ear syringe by the original designer.  of course, these were commercially made so some kind of extruder did the slipwork.

rae, that glassless table holds 6 wire refrigerator racks,  they are my favorite recycled things.  i use them for drying things because air gets underneath, i put some into the oven if things need more drying, they are the "boards" my pots go on once they are glazed and they stand in a corner out of the way when not in use.

 

notice the black "holster" for my spraygun.  the hose comes out of a window behind me and i do not have the LOUD compressor right next to my ears.

 

the stuff not in the picture includes a wire plant stand for a bucket of water and sponge and the wire plant stand that holds my shimpo banding wheel.    the towels hang over the table near the holster.  i put on a show for the neighborhood every time i work out there.  i have no "back" yard, everything is done out front.  (well, it is west virginia)
