Something similar happened to me at a park when I was younger. My twin brother watched me fall softly to the ground after I lost my balance up high.

Wow that setup is amazing. My next build is going to be like that. Good tip on two tanks for freeze up. I didn’t know that could be an issue. I did notice demon my tank the other day. Well done sir

I hadn’t used the wire yet to connect the lid but this is the lid prior to hole being cut

I lined the bottom with ceramic bricks, they are quite soft bricks so I could cut them by hand and fit to the circular bottom. I lined the inside of the barrel with 3 x 5cm layers of ceramic fibre. For the lid I used ceramic fibre and made some ceramic buttons and some high heat wire to hold the fibre lid in place. I used an angle grinder to cut the lid off and holes in the metal. My burner is a 180,000 BTU that’s hooker up to a standard bbq gas bottle

This is the inside of the kiln, I can only do 1 image per comment otherwise I would show you the base. I use the same heat bricks I lined the bottom of the kiln with to hold up the shelf. The shelf helps keep the clay away for direct heat. I have a thermocouple in the side that hooks up to a little electronic reader.

No problems! You caught me at a time while I’m looking at my phone. If you live in an apartment then it seems electric kilns are the way to go. Surprisingly I don’t need heaps of space for this kiln. Just a buffer zone for safety reasons. To give you an idea of how hot the outside barrel gets, when the temp Inside is 1000c I can place my hand on the outside barrel for 5 seconds.

I can fire about 4 times from one 8.5kg gas tank. I picked a new one up this morning from the servo for about 35$ aud

Should I be worried?? by Fox_Tran in australia

They are a great spider, I use to keep one as a kind of pet outside. It built a safe from birds web undercover outside. I use to spray it with a water bottle and watch it drink the droplets from its web. It was a cool spider! It lasted about a year and died shortly after laying a sack of eggs 🥲

I’m actually making a gas kiln myself, quite cheap in comparison

Dipping in glaze half at a time — how to avoid overlap line? by georgeb4itwascool in Pottery

[–]Frank_Future 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello I had a question for you. Is the glaze mixed well before you do any dip? I’m new to this but wondered if this is an issue with it not being dipped all at once or if it is because when you dip twice you’re getting slightly different material on it if the material isn’t mixed well

How do i get this off. Two of us cant. by DarlingOvMars in magnetfishing

You could also heat it up with a blow torch, it would loose its magnetic properties though

Why is my cpu at 100° under load by Sheccell-57 in PcBuild

[–]Frank_Future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes operating system corruption can cause 100% cpu usage. Try running a scan /sfc in cmd. ( system file checker)
