Late night purchase of Kanthal A1 wire. How hard can it be to make an element?

We found the tricky part was figuring out the length to cut the wire.
-
Good luck, cut longer rather than shorter!
How hard.....for me out of the question.
-
Well the wire has arrived
£6 for 50m. Hopefully that will make the two elements that I need. Need some insulating fire bricks now! They are a lot more of my hard earned money

First time I have done a proper cone test in my kiln. Turns out the bottom is hotter than the top. Weird. I guess that big gap between the lid and body needs to be filled!

Soory about the regional comments, old ex scot here, love the geordie accent!

I lived on the south coast for 3 years so I am used to it
Where people believe anything past London is north. -
Only when you go past Watford are you "up north". Says the southern softie daughter of a Geordie.

After three successful glaze firings without any of the wires getting hot I finally trust that the kiln is fixed! Happy days. Time to start making money

kiss the kilngod!

My kilngod effigies have been reduced to sitting on a shelf as they were not very good at protecting the kiln. They glare at me from afar but I just laugh and start quoting V=IR

don't tempt them, you may need them in future, even if just to cuss!

Stuck at work on night shift... Anybody got some links to good ceramics reading online? I feel like I have read everything I can find.

Chris, great website of Julia Galloways'! The Field Guide is priceless.

I love to look at youtube kiln opening videos and learn about glaze results people have. I get inspiration and start drawing out ideas.
