Great links, Charlie. Some good reading for tonight. I spent a day
touring Kitt Peak. Lots of fun. Never been to the Safford area but it
looks like an area worth seeing.

Just a qick question Jack. what are the elents you are using in the kiln
you show in your photos?

Best regards,

I'll assume you mean elements here. I got mine from Dudley Giberson at

I helped build a crucible furnace during the summer and we wound our own
elements from Kanthal wire.
