When choosing a business name?
graybeard replied to nicrob42's topic in Business, Marketing, and Accounting
Im not looking to get into trouble here but what about the ethics of using something like a tribe name. Doesn't seem right to me or even " native american " unless you are a first nation's member. I would tred lightly. Just my 2 cents worth Graybeard -
How about pic of the kiln, location and some specs on it. Stay safe Graybeard

Replacing Bearings on an OLD Lockerbie Wheel
graybeard replied to AveryO's topic in Equipment Use and Repair
Avery, is possible to heat the collars with a torch without burning any other parts. you would need to clean the grease around the top bearing and have a fire extinguisher handy. If you can heat the collar it will expand and loosen on the shift. IF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE FORUM THINK THIS IS A BAD IDEA DONT DO IT!! Graybeard -
Thank you sir!

Well, the day has arrived. I've had trouble with my kiln reaching ^6. How do I check the resistance of the elements and where do I find how many ohms is acceptable? Do I need to go into the control box or can I hook the vom to the elements inside the kiln? Any help appreciated Stay safe Graybeard

I've always had a hard time repeating size and shapes with mugs, vases, bowls, whatever. I decided to try cutting the shape that I wanted to repeat out of a thin slab of clay and firing it to make a custom rib. It worked. I can't be the first one to try this but thought I'd put it out there. Stay safe! Graybeard

If it was me I'd pick it up in a heart beat but I'm kinda handy. I would see what the other people have to say. But for 200 dollars I'd take a chance. Graybeard

The lid surface temp on my top loader is 350 f at ^5. Graybeard

Thank you gentlemen

Hi guys, my question is about loading my kiln. If I load the kiln only 1/3 full will it make it harder to reach ^5 than if the the kiln is full? Thanks Graybeard

What Neil & Liam said. It is amazing the crap people can come up with to steal someone's money or how low they will stoop. Graybeard

Bad idea to put anything on top of your kiln! Graybeard
