Paul....

What you propose sounds incredibly
Complicated....
How about making small hershey kisses
Out of clay....use those as posts...
The weight of the fired object
Will determine how fine a point the
Kiss shape has....
I actually use broken cordorite/mullite
Kiln shelf pieces to prop up work
That is glazed all over...I form a
Tripod support and balance the work...
If the contact area is small between
The object and the post/stilt
It will knock off easily and any
Small mark you can grind off....

Hope that helps...
Karen
