A good wheel is $800-1,000ish,
and kilns...well, I spent about $5,000ish total setting up my small gas kiln operation, if I remember right.
But electric is much cheaper.

Isn't it also more difficult to get the toasty brown pots from an electric kiln? I mean with the good results with oxygen reductions on gas kilns, it seems a waste to buy an electric kiln if bonsai pottery is reason for purchase. I have seen some nice looking pots from electric kilns but they seem to be over done with oxides to get darker colors. Thanks, Al __________________ A tree a day...thats all we ask.
