thanks for the info. I have an Olimpic kiln that missfired and tripped the breaker the last time it was fired. I thought it might be an element but this may be the problem. I will check as soon as I get it out of storage

Yep, 'Experiment' is my middle name.... unfortunately. I have to get back and make some more LARGER mugs and apple bakers. Just had some apples tonight but the bakers are too small for the larger variety of apples. I saw some with a horizontal lip so I might try some bigger ones with a lip.

Wished we lived closer to one another,
I'd share mine with you but it the old fashioned kind got to tur4n the dials and babysit it! haha We could learn lots more from each other. I don't have many people around here to talk to mostly teach and experiment1

Hi DebraRay! Actually we did go off to my 'roots' in Pa for most of a month and then it took a lot to get me back out to the shop. Now that I'm on a roll, I will get another load ready pretty soon. I wish I had bought a larger kiln now. Mine is 18 by 27 high.

Hmmm, I guess it doesn't hurt to check those old freezers and refrigerators. I'm going to have to do that. Yea, I am glad I have mine out in the shop because when glaze firing, some pretty nasty fumes come off. If I had it in the basement, I would definitely put an exhaust hood over it. Nice talking to you again, Debra
Hmmm, just noticed someone gave me a dislike for this video? Interesting! Must have been from Olympic????

those plugs are no longer sold by olympic, we had issue after issue with those things and eventually just direct wired each section togther. When the sections of the kiln shift from your weight against them when loading items into your kiln it causes the plugs to short or F up

@bthees1 hmmm, maybe I should take the time to direct wire them then before I wreck the controller with a spike. Do you work up in Flowery Branch? That's where I got this demo.

Yeap, that old freezer was costing 30 - 50 dollars a month cause it was always freezing ovr and just didn't get enough air,
Well worth just shutting it off and saving up for a newer smaller one. I am going to use it for a damp box though, when we get it down stairs. I will have lots more room than my current old frig does.

Wow, $50 a month. I WOULD make a great wet box, though.
