Here I am sitting in my office and waiting for the kiln sitter to trip off
way in the back of our machine shop. So I have to run back there every few
minutes to see if it has tripped off so I can turn it back on to do a slow
cool. Normally I'd be back there the last hour that it usually clicks off but
I have a deadline on something non-clay related so I have to be two places at
once!
So, I was wondering... has anyone used one of those intercoms that parents
use to monitor their baby while they are in one part of the house and the
parent in the other? I was thinking if I put the microphone part near the
kiln and the receiver part in my office I can hear exactly when it goes off
and run back and turn it back on before it starts to cool down. Any thoughts
on this?
Now I wish I had kept the baby monitor I used on my daughter a few years
ago...

Cat,
Some time ago Mel discussed his solution to the same problem. (I think
it was Mel). He riged a lite to go on when the arm fell. Maybe he or
whoever it was could describe this so we could all benifit. I have to
take the grate off the floor heater ( no longer in use ) and hang my
head down the hole with a flash lite if I think I heard it fall. Lot of
fun!! Mike Gordon
