Monty, Making the holes are really technical... Put the holes opposite each other... top and bottom, or front to back. Drill holes where the elements are not. If you elements are on the top and too close you can have the holes front and back. I suggest to drill from the inside out.. ie thru the bric...

Steve,
What Judy is saying.. there is a 3 key and a 12 key version of both controllers. Do not get the 3 key. For the kiln that you are looking at they don't come with a 3 key version. The 3 key version comes on less expensive kilns to keep the cost down.

Both of them have a thermocouple sticking into the kiln. From my converstions with Jen-Ken in the past they give you a choice of the Bartlet Board or the Orton one. All of the other hardware is the same. The thermocouple is the piece that sticks into the kiln to read the tempreture. The Pyrometer is...

Glass will slump when it gets to the same temp in each kiln. Your thermocouple is not in the glass. It is measuring Airtemp. if a room is 100 degrees and you walk into it your temp does not raise to 100°. If you walk into a room that is 35° you do not become 35°. If you preheat an oven to 350° h...

So far my understanding is that Back Magic has some type of magic power to get people like me to buy a product that does not work. Have you found a use for it? It does not work as they say it does to shine up the back of a product.

In Coconut Creek Florida there is an outlet mall called Festival Flee Market. It sometimes is called the Sample Flee Market cause it is on Sample Road.

In the back there is a Judiaca shop. That shop has the cups. Off the top of my head I can't think of the name of the shop now.

I know of a store that you can buy them in, but Bert is right, again, you should slump your own.
And you can get a pen gold ink and write the names on the dishes even.

Wow, these are great, not just for a beginner. I am taking a break from a beginner class that I am teaching tonight. At first I thought about showing the students what a beginner can do, but on second thought I don't want to discourage them. These are wonderful.
