A Clean Well Lighted Place To Work

Good Morning,

Monday is here, and I for one am rather excited about starting the work week.

This blog has discussed tools, uses and care of, as well as a number of things related to the Studio in general.  Today I thought it would be fun to show off the “workbench”.

Not so much a workbench as it is a large, long table, but it will suffice for the meantime.  I spent the weekend cleaning and organizing the Studio, it still has a long way to go but at least the work area is clean and inviting.  Come, sit and create something, it beckons.

It is important to have a clutter free work area, in the photo below you can see the work space, a large space for equipment (currently a  note book resides in the spot), along with hammers, torches, Dremel tool, mandrels, other tools, and a small rack of incidentals (files, striker, gloves and other things) hangs on the wall within easy reach.  A positionable light with a magnifying lens is attached to one edge of the table, it may be pulled down for small work, or lifted up and out of way as you see here, it is also an excellent extra light source.  The windows and overhead light come from behind me, casting shadows across the table, which is not only bad for my eyesight, but it makes it difficult to see what I am actually working on.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Readers from everywhere,
Welcome to The Alchemists Vessel.  That’s it, right there.  No longer do I reside in the Great Room at the dining-room table, no more do I fret over spills, wax, fire (OK, maybe a little bit) and other things that may mar or damage a surface.  This table, that chair, is my Studio.  Kind of not what you thought, huh.  Yes, there is a whole room attached to the table and chair, don’t you worry, and more equipment lies about the area within a step or two away.  The “heavy machinery” is out in the garage.

It is important to be sure that you not only have enough light, but that you have enough space to work on your items.  Of course things should be within reach, but out of the way of the immediate area in which you are working.  It is also a nice idea to have extra space tools and / or equipment you may need for working on a project.  Here things are rather compact.  The crock pot, for example, plugs into the outlet provided on the lamp’s base, (not visible in photo). Not only is this convenient, it is also within easy reach, as the pot does not have an On/Off switch, it can be unplugged immediately when not in use or switched off with the lamp’s power toggle.

I think this is the first time any of you will get to see a piece of my art that hangs in the studio.  Although not quite completed, I had to get it out of the way, and the wall already had a nail in it, so why not just hang the thing.  I don’t paint well,  but I do enjoy dabbling on occasion.

A front view of the bench, here it is easier to see how it all comes together as a functioning workbench.  These photos were actually taken with my cellphone, because once again my camera has eaten 
the batteries.

This is where the magic happens.

The bench is currently set up for a Super Secret Project!  The plastic bag you see contains materials that if left out in the open one will oxidize and the other will harden to an unusable state.   As you read this, I sit in that chair, at that table, and am more than likely soldering something.  

This lovely item is an actual Bench Jewelers bench, each compartment and drawer are actually made to accommodate specific items.  The drawer in front, unlike a desk, is called a “catch drawer” it is used to catch the metal dust from sheet metal when sawing or cutting or piercing the piece.

From Gesswein this little beauty is solid wood and has a number of amenities, bench pin, catch drawer and ring mandrel holder.  For $315.00 this is a very nice piece of equipment, not a necessary one, but a nice one.

Thank you for stopping in and having a read.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant work week.

Five Great GIfts To GIve List 14

Tuesday has rolled around once more and it is time for five more gift ideas.

Absolutely perfect this morning, is this Original painting from

From: Jackie Guttuso Design

Coffee art, Original collage, Coffee painting, Modern kitchen art, Coffee wall art, OOAK Coffee decor, Original coffee cup art

 

This coffee collage is an original, one of a kind piece. I created it by painting with professional grade heavy watercolor paper with layers of acrylic paint and hand cutting the individual letters and pieces to make this unique collage. It would make a wonderful gift for a coffee loving friend or would look great hanging in the kitchen or dining room. I left it unmatted and unframed so that you can choose the color and style that will look just right with your decor. Click on the photos above to get an idea how it would look with different color mats and frames.

Here’s another original coffee collage that I’ve created:

From Diana Shye Jewelry

Copper coiled wire spiral red tiger eye bracelet on Etsy

 

This eye-catching handmade bracelet by DianaShyeJewelry on Etsy features a copper coiled wire spiral winding around gleaming red tiger eye beads.

The first step in making this bracelet was to create a long copper wire coil of copper by winding fine gauge copper wire around a mandrel. I removed the copper wire coil from the mandrel and stuing it on a length of thicker gauge copper wire. Then I wound the strung coil around the mandrel to create a coiled coil of copper wire. I then strung the 10 mm red tiger eye beads on still another length of even thicker gauge core copper wire and wound the coil of copper coil around the beads and the core wire. Finally, I finished the bracelet off with a handcrafted copper wire clasp.

The bracelet is 7″ (17.8 cm) long and 7/16 ” (12 mm) in diameter. It fits a small to medium wrist.

Red tiger eye is a birthstone for Scorpio (October 23 – November 22).

Captured Color Collection Chainmaille Bracelets

Good Morning,

After the weekend‘s events, I am pleased to be back at home and ready to be at the workbench.  Apparently there was some excitement at the Gun Show this weekend when a patron accidentally fired a loaded weapon, smashing a display case and injuring another Gun Show attendee with either the bullet or flying glass from the display case.  The local news was rather sketchy about the facts of the incident; but folks this is why Gun Control is necessary, people are STUPID!

There are cute new bracelets in the shop and they may be made to desired length or crafted in longer lengths for a Necklace.

Silver-plated wire and enameled aluminum jump rings in a variety of colors are combined and woven in an Inverted Round Maille pattern.  Gemstone or  glass beads may also be used to “fill” the interior of the chain.  Available at either on-line shop Handmade Artists or Etsy.  Currently available in eight colors.  Pink, Blue, Olive Green, Dark Blue, Teal, Red, Black and Copper (enameled aluminum or natural metal)

Paramour

Super cute and very feminine, pink rings are captured and float in the center of the chain.  Would make a fabulous Prom accessory or a lovely alternative to a Breast Cancer Awareness lapel pin ribbon.

Poet Chainmaille Bracelet

 

Gorgeous green, fresh and fun to wear. The stunning chainmaille bracelet is a colorful piece and just right for any occasion, a pop of color at the office, or for a casual weekend get away accessory.

Tardis Blues

 Why yes, my geek is showing.  The popularity of TV Shows like Game of Thrones and Dr. Who has grown exponentially over the seasons and I could not resist the opportunity to name something after a a clever and smart program that I enjoy.  What Companion wouldn’t be trilled with this small keepsake from the Doctor?

Wrath of Grapes Chainmaille Bracelet

Light weight, and comfortable for extended periods of wear, this interesting accessory contains a puzzle, how do the rings just float there?

Links, Promotions and Events

Good Morning,

It is Friday and the week is winding down and so am I.  Subjects have been difficult this week, trying to find things to write about.

This morning there are a couple of links and of course info on the monthly Flea Market, which I no longer attend as a vendor, but go to occasionally to see what’s new.

There are several new items in the Etsy and Handmade Artists Shops, some are one of a kind and some are customizable, like these cute Captured Color Bracelets.  Currently available in Dk. Blue, Purple, Pink and Olive Green (to be listed).

Diligently working on the material for In Chains, I have gotten brave and decided to let folks have a sneak peek at the work in progress. 

Events – What’s going on in Boise this weekend.

Treasure Valley Flea Market
 Idaho Expo
5610 Chinden Blvd.
Garden City, ID
Admission: $2.00

This is the last show of the season, the markets will begin again in September.  There is a show in July that is in conjunction with the Northwest Auto Show, but unless you sling car parts there really isn’t much to see.

Beat Coach Pete

This weekend is the Annual “Beat Coach Pete” Walk / Run Fundraiser.  Get those running shoes out and head to the BSU Rec Center.  Don’t forget to register first!

Not too much else is happening this weekend.  Boise is kinda boring!
