Hi Kadora
Very nice, looks very well made.
I am interested in building a similar furnace.
May I ask you the details of your heating elements. I have seen some on ebay from china but from memory they are 0.2 ins dia., i am not sure if they would be suitable.
I am in the UK, not found any suppliers here.

Thanks

Nigel

Excellent choice I think. I have a small Paragon glass kiln that serves for all kinds of work from heat treating to melting. The kilns are very versatile.
