So incredible and what talent. I am in awe of the skill that it took to execute this. The pipe community is having such an incredible impact on contemporary flame working. They have really pushed the art to another level.
Magical! wonder if the hand torches run on propane/oxygen too. I've had trouble with attachments, thanks for the tips! How do they know how long they can keep the piece out of the kiln, especially when your working with a bigger composition?
Good question! It's really a testament to their experience and skillset, more or less they focused on the color changes in the treehouse components. They knew once the treehouse was a certain color it was getting too cold for comfort and thus it would get returned to the kiln.
Yes, all of the torches (big ones and the Little Smith hand torches) are Propane and Oxygen. The hand torches have a separate purchased nozzle that concentrates the heat more, but same fuels. I’m not sure all the hand torches had covers over their hoses, but if one of the 3 doesn’t, you’ll see green and red hoses running to under the table where the gas hook-ups go. Red is for propane and green for Oxygen. Hope this helps. Those Little Smiths are extremely helpful for sculptural work.
