Hey folks,
I don't know if any of you have tried sculpting in Sculpey home bake polymer clay (turns from clay into plastic when heated to 200*F) well I've been irritated with not being able to finish full 12" figure sculpts due to my home oven being very small. So I made this over the weekend:
It's a heavy duty steel cabinet from Menards hardware store (manufactured by Suncast). Inside I put a swivel head outdoor wall mount halogen lamp (300 watts) from the hardware store for $8. There's just a positive and negative wire connection to deal with on the back to put an extension cord on it. After that you simply plug in! Now I can do sculptures in one piece up to 30" high x 18" x 18"!
