Boiler Bar Head Trip
The Boiler Bar and the Zen Fire Gardens will be at the opening for “Head Trip” This Sat.
Please join us for fun, drink and Jarico’s bad jokes!
Bolier Bar Show at the crucible
We had our first show last week and boy was it fun. Everyone seem to love our tongue in cheek turn of the century oil town bar. The girls were amazing and really warmed the place despite the cold wind from outside.

The Boiler Bar Dancers
Boiler Bar in action
I brought out 7 of my Zen Fire Gardens. The biggest attraction was the heat they gave off (it was cold), but once near the warmth they then discovered how fun they are to play with and watch.

I want to thank: Christopher Schardt for sound, Christopher Brooks for fire safety, Rich Sciortino, Katherine Summer for costumes, the Crucible and staff, and lastly the dancers for all their hard work both on stage and off.
The stage
Scottie came by for a day last week to lend a hand welding the stage up. She got the basic platform done.
Here Hino adds the stairs he designed. He also added legs with adjustable feet to level it out.
Next we cut plywood for the top and started making the mounts for the back drop we painted last week. Where am I going to store all this stuff?
Scottie practicing her fire eating for the upcoming show at the crucible this week.
Boiler Bar Theater back drop is done
Here I’m cleaning up the edges, adding the fringe back in and doing some doodles around the number on the bottom. I’d forgotten how nice old lead paint is to work with. The colors are so thick.
Now it’s time to make it old. I painted one side with good old orange shellac. It really warms up the whole thing and gives it that tea stained/old smoke look.
Here it is completed. I’m really amazed at how great this looks. I’m going to be doing a lot more painting both on canvas and on my metal work.
The family ready for the stage.
Desert Flower
I wanted to do A more organic fire sculpture for the upcoming show at the Crucible. I was inspired by desert blooms that come after a good rain this time of year. I’ve been working on a new venturis burner system that will now make it possible for me to make more artful replacements of the patio heater. I’m very happy with it and look forward to warming my hands and watching my wife dance on the new Boiler Bar Stage.
Testing out the new burner in my shop.
Up close: no smoke or flames outside the tubes, great fuel air mix and it’s getting very Hot!
Lights for Camino’s
Back to Custom Lighting
We are wrapping up a fun project for a new local restaurant called Camino’s.
This is one of 4 5 foot wide light fixtures that will be installed next month. Each one of those tubes on the main ring will have a bulb and the wires will drape from one to the other. We also made the wall sconces and brick oven tools for them. I’m looking forward to eating under these lights!
