Wet Workspace
This wet workspace contains a diamond saw and polishing station.
Annealing Ovens
Two large annealing ovens are used to "bake" glassware after it has been constructed or repaired.
The annealing process makes the glass stronger by relieving any internal pressure or strain that the manufacturing process introduces.
