mine is only 16" across and it was around... $900. the one i would want is probably $2,500, but i'd have to have an electrican run a separate 220 line for it, and i'd need to tile my studio floor (i put ceramic tiles under my current kiln, but if i got a large one, i'd need to redo the whole floor.

ok, so what youre saying is that the current kiln is worth 15 underpriced bowls or 9 "repriced-to-a-hundred-bucks" bowls, while the new kiln is worth 40 underpriced bowls or 25 "repriced-to-a-hundred-bucks" bowls, plus tiles and electrical (get an estimate from them in bowls, i aint working it out lol)

if you think thres a niche market that isnt going to dry up or be flooded out any time soon, take the plunge and just do it (you chickenshit lol)

Yep. they are the actual pieces he did himself when he was teaching workshops down here two years ago.

He's been to a couple of my parties before. Not THOSE kind of parties... the regular ones.

I think I watched that same PBS show you were talking about. It was on a few years ago , right?

I know tiling should you need help! I'm also a fair hand with wiring though you'd have to get it inspected afterwards.

Just fucking do it damn it.

well, being chickenshit isn't the issue. I don't just spend money on things i want whenever i want it.
I don't think art or glass market ever changes, but i want to make sure i can keep getting orders and see if what i have now just really isn't enough. The larger kiln also takes up a lot of room. my studio isn't tiny, but i'd have to totally reconfigure it.
