Nutty,Dave pics .... high-fires, pot melts, etc

I did another high fire experiment but this one partially failed ... i forgot my shelf dams so the glass flowed ... off the shelf ... and the circuit breaker tripped so the kiln cooled too fast ... CRACK!

but i will salvage most of it into other pieces.
