#kiln — Public Fediverse posts

I got my #kiln elements re-seated and then moved on to task number two that I’d also been procrastinating: sanding and applying kiln wash to my kiln shelves.

Kiln maintenance seems like it’s going to be a hassle but then I always feel super satisfied after getting it done.

I also tidied my studio and am cleaning my floors with the help of a wet vacuum robot. A potter friend of mine suggested this and it’s been a total game changer.

Whelp, it only took 10 or so months, but I finally got that kiln working!

The electricians that initially ran the power to the kiln didnt hook up one of the leads.

Chatting with an electrician a few weeks ago, they asked me to find the breaker that feeds the subpanel it is connected to. After knocking the company server offline fiddling with the totally unlabeled main breaker on Thursday, I waited till everyone had left Friday evening, turned off that big breaker and got to work with the screwdriver and multimeter.

Turns out that one leg of the 80 amp breaker they tied it into was not getting power. I noticed an unused three phase breaker that had the voltage and current I needed, so I switched the wires to that and voila- I have the power! Once again, my amateur electrician skills put to use :)

Still cannot believe we have this kiln now. My mind is racing with all the possibilities!
