Well Jeanne, Once upon a time in the olden days(1970's) there were
adjustable stilts. Not exactly as you described but stackable one inch and
one and a half inch inter-locking post sections. I love mine and since I
can't locate new ones I carefully repair them with ITC. It takes a little
more time to load but I've packed a lot more pottery in kilns over the
years by always having just the right height post. A half inch saved is
money earned :>) I wonder why no one makes them now. Judi Buchanan

Hi,
Jennifer, I'd like the oil wick thing too.
My favorite fantasy tool(s) are adjustable kiln
stilts. Need another 1/8th inch, just twist the stilt
until it's the precise height, or push a button to
lengthen or shorten??
Yes, I use shims, but I'd rather adjust a stilt.
Cheers,
Jeanne W.

Ooh, I like adjustable stilts, and I also need adjustable kiln
shelves! Need an extra 1/4 inch for a platter to fit? Just slide
the shelf to go wider.

Seems like maybe you could cast your own if they are made of the same
material as kiln posts. I bet one of the Extruder Gurus could tell you how
to extrude some!

the fantasy tool that I want is an inflatable kiln. I could just blow it up a
little bit when I want to do tests, and when I get it loaded and need it to be
just a bit taller, or just a tad wider, just inflate it a little more. Now I
realize that with my L&L 18 inch three ringer, I can sort of do that, but it
really has to be planned and it is a hassle to take it apart and put it back
together, that is why I would like an inflatable kiln. I wouldn't mind a
telescoping kiln where you could just pull the sections up like a radio antena.
