One important feature to a glass shop is good ventilation. Getting hazardous dust and heat out of the studio is key to keeping safe and comfortable working conditions. We had a few pieces of sheet metal cut and folded at a local metal shop for the hood. Now its just a matter of hanging them from the ceiling with some heavy duty anchors.
The backside of the curtain will be reinforced with some slotted angle iron set at a 45 degree angle from the bottom of the sheet metal to the ceiling. This will really make the whole thing solid and fun to swing from! Our only area to install exhaust fans are in the windows behind the curtain. The windows are not that big but it is enough to squeeze three fans into….better than nothing at all.
