I've just spent a LOT of time (& money) putting together a dancing flame, glass crystal fireplace.
The burners were insanely expensive for what they are and so was the glass. I surprised my wife with one for Christmas and she's ecstatic, but I had so many unnecessary issues getting it to fit and work properly.
One of the cool things about these fireplaces is the things you can do with different color and texture crystals so that even when it's not being used as a fireplace it's pretty. Being a creative guy I'll end up with a large outline of Texas filled with the Texas flag for a while and later, or maybe along with a pond and stream with grass & rocks.
You can even add topography with hills & valleys.
If I can easily weld the pipe I can make my own burners to fit whatever I'd drawing in the glass. I could add a "bonfire" off to one side separate of the other flames for instance. So I could make flames match the artwork.
Right now I've just got carribbean blue crystals piled up on top of some big diamond shaped crystals to get it working, but tomorrow I'll work on some art. My son already wants a big NInja with flames coming out of his sword which should be childs play.
I'll post a pic once I have something worth looking at, and since I'm playing I'll probably change it a lot to get some practice in.
Now I've got to research types of crystals that would work the best and how to buy them wholesale.
I think a white on white design with the design being done in mirror pieces so that when the flames are on the design suddenly appears and actually glows.
