Yo! Yo, (I just had to do that), For my kiln, the top is really heavy too, so I went to Home Depot, bought a length of chain and a large "S" hook, and then attached one end of the chain to the ceiling. I put the "S" hook on the chain depending on my needs (1/2 open, 1/4, etc) and...

Thanks Brock! As long as no bathtub and streaking are needed, it's a go! :)

And I know the Canadian Thanksgiving was last month, so here's to you and all others on this board. I give thanks for all of you.

They also sell a straight-edge attachment for the Taurus. It comes in their add-on package, or "accessory kit" as they call it. You can get it for between $40-$50 us online.

When I was doing a lot of tack fusing (rods, thin strips and cane) I blamed a lot on the vibration from the Orton vent mounted under my Evenheat kiln. When I finally got scientific about it and turned the fan off, I still got movement of components, probably due to uneven application and burn-off o...

When I was a kid, one of my good friend's favorite words was "schmuck," as someone acting goofy or weird. It wasn't until I was drafted I learned the real definition of the (Yiddish) term "schmuck." :oops:
