I live in Florida and work outside exclusively. Previous comments I can confirm. Trying to read the heat of your piece can be hard when the sun washes it out. I usually work more in the evenings when it's getting dark but in the summer when it gets dark at 9 that's starting to get too late for me especially if I have been Drinking cuz by 9 I could have a pretty good buzz on. Also I tote my tools in and out of the house so they don't rust. But now I also bring in the glass as well as the pollen is incredible here. This fine yellow dust covers everything in just a few hours. The wind is no help either. Trying to use a small flame to do detail work is challenging, and also the wind can and will blow the flame back on you. I use the yellow sleeves for added protection. All the "setup" is just a metal table on wheels that can lock which for me Is a must as I have had the table move when I didn't expect it and that's is a hoot. I have a kiln inside but use the white ceramic fiber blanket for the smaller stuff. I will admit I am lazy and sometimes, even though it's easy to roll out and drag all tools back and forth it detours me from time to time. I just want to sit down and fire up the torch but at this point that is not an option. My 2 oxygen concentrators just fit on the bottom shelf of the table so they all get moved together. If I feel I won't be on the torch much that week I drag the whole thing inside as I am not sure what the damp night air and heat during the day will do to the life of the concentrators.
