Equipment Information


 * Name:Baracuda Glass Torch * Description:Small torch that gets placed on edge of table and clamped down. Two hoses run from the back of the torch to an oxygen tank and a propane tank. * Purpose: Torches are necessary in order to make glasswork. Currently, the Glass Collective only has two torches so no more than two people can work at once; it makes workshops very difficult. * Storage: Lemelson; glass collective cabinet

Equipment Expenses

Equipment Information


 * Name:AGW-203 Lens Eye Glasses * Description:Plastic framed eye glasses with special lenses. * Purpose:Eyes glass are needed when working with glass because the flame is bad for your eyes. The glasses we have now are not very good and could damage vision. * Storage:Lemelson; glass collective cabinet

Equipment Expenses

Equipment Information


 * Name:Major/Minor Bench Burner * Description:Small burner that stays on the edge of the table. Is connected to two hoses that go to oxygen and propane tanks. * Purpose:A burner with a major/minor option (flame can be very large for large pieces or very small for detailed pieces). The Glass Collective currently only has two torches, having more would make workshops much easier and productive. * Storage:Lemelson; glass collective cabinet

Equipment Expenses


 * TOTAL: $540.00

Equipment Information


 * Name: Kiln Power Timer * Description: Power adapter that fits into a power socket and the kiln's power cord plugs into it. * Purpose: The Kiln (an oven used to slowly cool glass down) needs to shut off at a certain time in order to keep from melting the glass. Unfortunately, Lemelson is not always open when the oven needs to be turned off. An automatic timed power adapter would fix this solution. * Storage:Lemelson; glass collective cabinet

Equipment Expenses


 * TOTAL: $130.00
