Kiln suggestion / recommendation ?

Question

Presently looking to purchase a Kiln so that I may do the following:

- Precious metal / Jewelery / PMC clay, etc...

- Enameling on Copper / Silver / Gold etc...

- Glass slumping and fusing (largest piece would be about the size of a breakfast bowl)

I would prefer a kiln with a 'side opening / swinging door and with a window or peep-hole if possible. For convenience sake I would prefer it to be 110 volt. If that's not possible, 220v can be made available.

Most of the kiln's use would be for slumping and enameling

Money is not an issue, but I don't think I could justify spending any amount over 5k.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be helpful......

Cheers,

/FC

I wouldn't suggest this to anyone else, but for you...I believe your best bet would be to contact your fellow Canadian who apparently has a wide variety of kilns in stock.  That would be most fitting.

Exactly.  A strawman for a strawman.

I find the information from Brad Waker as well as Boyce Lundstrom tobe deemed more reliable and accurate. However....much of theinformation you provide in "your" tutorials sure has a closeresemblence to other published works...some of it is almost verbatim.But I digress....         wrote:

JK · Answer

not !You responded to it, didn't you ?It is a shame that you're not really, really old though....   Is your vendetta with Moon any different than his with Brady? Aren't you in fact doing the same thing you criticise? How smart is it to takes sides in an ongoing argument when you know nothing of it's history? Your question didn't get answered in a way you liked, so google it.
