Genuinely, there is a *severe* shortage of scientific grade glass blowers out there. Some stuff isn't made anymore, and frankly can't be made anymore. This could be a big chance to hammer a niche wide open! Take everything!!!

if/when you get it home, you should make something science themed to make it feel at home

Is it just me or does the kneeling kiln kind of look like Cassandra from Doctor Who?

Go to Oxford! Our dept (chem) is one of if not the only which has an in house scientific glassblowers and has not outsourced it. Terri is kept extremely busy but would probably be more than happy to show you around :)

I'm glad it's going to you but it's so sad we are losing departments like this. I heard the glass centre in sunderland is also closing down. so bittersweet.

this kind of "old" equipment is often way better and more durable than the new stuff

that's an incredible haul, and wonderful that the glass will be used for its intended purpose and not just end up in landfill

I love that they're giving it all away rather than sending it to be destroyed

I wonder If the students in the mechanical engineering department would help disassemble it and give you a plan to put it back to together when home

You should email or call the company who made the machine and ask for advice

Speak to a Props team in tv or film they’re use to moving extremely annoying items in and out of buildings they shouldn’t fit into

I hope you do find a way to get it out and bring it to your workspace, I am excited for the potential pieces you would be able to create with the bigger kiln.

I would go for it really! Like someone else said, older machines were built to last.

dan stuart :
theyve got it in,down the stairs and then trough those doors so it should definitely be able to come apart into easier transportable parts. the bolts probably need a good soak in cleaner first though and maybe a little shock to loosen them.

Estates might be able to remove part of the door architrave to get a little bit more clearance. You might not have clearance in the corridor to turn it tho.

Amazing that they were able to connect with you so that all the glass doesn’t just get thrown out. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you make with it💜
