This short person would love to see your kiln. Could a mechanically
challenged person build it ? Thanks for posting it. Fran

This "vertically challenged" person's personal
nightmare is being found with her legs sticking
out of the kiln due to a loading mishap!!!
I use a stool but still dread that bottom shelf!
I would love to see a short person's kiln!
Gayle Bair- is going to have to face that bottom shelf tomorrow!

Hi Gail,
This vertically........person also dreads something like that! Hope
someone is around to haul us out without a cracked skull!
All the best.

Veena,
I don't consider myself "vertically challenged" BUT -- I have a very tall
top loading electric kiln. I stand on bricks to put the lower level of pots
into the kiln; about 3 weeks ago my foot sliped off the brick and I almost
ended up inside the kiln; while hanging on the edge I heard a lower rib on
my left snap - painful but all healed now.
